Health consultation hour: What body and mind have to tell each other
Healthy body, healthy mind, says a Latin proverb
The interaction between the physical and the psychological is undisputed. The extent to which this interaction affects our daily lives is dependent on the individual living conditions. Do socio-demographic characteristics such as age, origin or gender influence these effects? How do certain attitudes affect our behavior? Why, for example, are some people reluctant to see the doctor despite being unwell? Which factors lead to physical inactivity, why do some people eat better than others? How do low self-esteem and the feeling of unattractiveness affect happiness? And what are the main causes of sleep problems and stress? The STADA Health Report 2016 looks at such questions.
In Autumn 2014 the STADA Health Report started with a survey about people’s attitudes, wishes and behavior towards their health. In 2015 the focus was on Germans‘ health knowledge. This year the survey is going one step further by combining the topics. Therefore the title of the Health Report 2016 is “Health consultation hour: What body and mind have to tell each other”.
Double interview: “The link between body and mind is a key topic”
