According to a study, over two thirds of the Swiss population feel tired and exhausted. Only 15 percent of those surveyed currently rate their state of health as very good.
This is the lowest figure since the study series began in March 2020, the health insurer CSS wrote on Tuesday about its fifth health survey. According to the survey, 35% of the population feel ill or not completely healthy.
Across all age groups, 68 percent of respondents stated that they were often exhausted and tired, according to the report. This is the "new pandemic", so to speak. It is striking that the 18 to 35 age group has the most negative perception of the pressure to perform.
75 percent have the feeling that they always have to be healthy and productive. This is reflected in persistent exhaustion. And more and more people are experiencing burnout.
The Swiss people still feel less healthy overall than before the Covid pandemic, according to the results of the study. This now applies to the vast majority of 18 to 36-year-olds in particular - only a fifth of this age group say they feel "very healthy" (2023: 27%).
Nevertheless, there were some bright spots in the mental health of younger people. On the other hand, however, there is an increasing perception of pressure to perform at work, which is spilling over into private life.
The Sotomo research institute conducted the health study for the fifth time on behalf of CSS. From June 13 to 21, 2456 people in German-, French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland were surveyed online.
