Swiss Health Survey 2012 – More physical activity in Switzerland
Neuchâtel, 16.10.2014 - (FSO) - The proportion of physically active people has risen in the past 10 years. In 2012 almost three out of four people were sufficiently physically active and more than half took part in sport at least once a week. People taking regular exercise not only feel better but are also less likely to suffer from chronic disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure. These are findings from the "Swiss Health Survey", conducted in 2012 for the fifth time by the Federal Statistical Office.
