A new survey that said that 80 per cent males are found to be living under stress, the percentage which is more as compared to women. The poll was conducted by ICICI Lombard General Insurance.
Says the survey, Eighty per cent males live under stress due to inadequate rest and heavy workload, whereas in the case of females, it is 74 per cent. Inadequate rest, 52 per cent, and heavy work load, 51 per cent, emerged as the reasons behind triggering the condition amongst respondents. Moreover, 78 per cent respondents believe stress is the chief trigger for heart ailments. This view was common irrespective of the gender and geography of respondents. Lack of physical exercise was cited as one of the reasons for cardio vascular diseases with 56 per cent of respondents voting the same, followed by obesity. Those having health insurance and are not stressed are more confident regarding their heart condition. Additionally, a high percentage of respondents, about 68 per cent, own a health insurance policy to manage health related expenses.
An ICICI Lombard executive said, It is heartening to note the perceptible shift of people who are now taking into account heart ailments and the reasons that trigger them. The World Heart Day provides us with another opportunity to pursue our goals as we aim to create higher awareness about the necessity of de-stressing ourselves.
