Philips Index for Health and Well-being: A global perspective Report 2010 - Updated October 31, 2011 3

A Word About the Philips Index for Healthand Well-Being: A Global Perspective from theCenter Director

Welcome, and on behalf of Philips , thank you for taking the time to learn more about our repor t, the Philips

Index for Health and Well-Being: A Global Perspective. As the speed of change increases every day, we face

many challenges, from responding to the needs of an aging population to increasing urbanization. Philips aspires

to a greater understanding of how these issues impact our health and well-being. And, we believe that knowledge

sharing can help meet many of those challenges. If we better understand societies and their people, we can

improve health and well-being whether it is in Tokyo, Istanbul, Sydney, New York or Mumbai.

There are some intriguing ndings for example, overall health and well-being in a country does not seem to be

linked to higher income or GDP levels the countries that feel best about their heal th and well-being are the

United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and India, whereas those that are less positive include Japan,

Turkey and Italy. All over the world, jobs and earnings seem to be some of the main global drivers responsible for

reducing our overall sense of health and well-being, whereas personal relationships (alongside our own physical

and mental health) rank as the main positive dr iver. When we look at personal responsibility for health, 91% of us

feel a strong sense of responsibility for our own health. However, this does not necessarily translate into action -

only 40% of us feel as physically t as we could be for our age.

This study is based on responses from near ly 40,000 people across 31 countries. It was commissioned by

The Philips Center for Health and Well-being. The Center is dedicated to helping improve peoples quality of life

around the world. It serves as a knowledge-sharing forum to raise the level of discussion on what matters most

to citizens and communities. The Center brings together experts for dialogue and debate to overcome barrier s

and identify solutions that will drive meaningful change in peoples health and well-being.

Our report provides facts to encourage discussions about health and well-being, whether those conversations

happen across the dinner table, at conferences, in classrooms, wherever. We want to further ignite the search for

the best answers to the hardest questions about our future well-being.

This is part of a series of Philips Index for Health and Well-Being special repor ts with a global perspective

a series through which we will better understand how people, wherever they are in the world , feel about their

health and well-being. It is from that unders tanding that together we can drive positive change

for people.

Yours sincerely,Katy Har tley, Director of The Philips Center for Health & Well-being

I. Introduction

Philips is a pioneer in developing and bringing to market, innovations that shape our

healthcare, our lifestyle, and who we are as a society. Doing so means we need to

understand the mega-trends in society. These include:

What is the state of our health and well-being?

What aspects of health and well-being are most important, and how satised are people

with each of these aspects of their lives?

How do countries and regions vary in terms of their attitudes and behaviors toward

health and well-being?

What role do peoples lifestyles, age and communities play in their health and well-being?

During 2010 and 2011, Philips conducted health and well-being research regarding how

people in different countries approach health and well-being, and where we are similar

and different across the globe. This research was carried out in 23 countries during 2010

and an additional eight countries in 2011. We believe that this understanding will enable

us to continue to pioneer products, services and game-changing innovations that will help

people, communities, healthcare systems, governments, and future generations address the

critical issues surrounding how we live, how content we are, and our own roles in those

dimensions of our lives.

II. Executive Summary

The Philips Health and Well-being Index focuses on understanding the current

state of peoples health and well-being around the globe. It explores not only

how people state they feel, but it also keys in on the components that dr ive ones

health and well-being. Furthermore, the Index aims to provide a full picture of

how people feel about, approach and manage their health and well-being.

The Health and Well-being Index was conducted among nearly 40,000 adult

men and women from 31 countries around the world. The survey approach and

methodology was determined on a country-by-country basis to best reect the

demographic make-up in that country (details of methodology and sample sizes

can be found in Section III of this report).

To provide a basis for a global comparison, an un-weighted average of all markets

was compiled to create a combined total sample. Throughout this repor t, markets

are compared against this combined total as well as across markets.

The key areas of focus within the survey were:

Globally, what are peoples attitudes to health and well-being? More specically:

o How do they currently feel?

o How has this feeling changed over time?

o How important, and how satised, are people with the components that

drive feelings of health and well-being?

o How do people around the globe change their feelings of health and well-being?

What are peoples general attitudes when it comes to managing their health?

More specically:

o What are their future health concerns?


6/92


o How much responsibility do they take for their own health?

o How often do they visit the doctor and dentist?

o Where do they turn for health information and advice?

How does life expectancy vary around the globe?

How do people approach weight management and diet?

Are people getting enough sleep, and what impact does that have on their lives?

How much stress do people feel, and what are the main causes of stress?

What role does community play in peoples lives around the world?

Nearly two-thirds (62%) of people from around the globe rate their current state

of health and well-being as good or very good, indicating that people believe

they are in a good state of body and mind. However, when we take a closer

examination of whats driving that state, we nd people are doing less well than

they think. Combined, the 31 countries included in this report have an overall

Health and Well-being Index score of 56%. The Health and Well-being Index is an

analysis that weights the importance we place on various components of health

and well-being against the satisfaction we have with those same components. In

most of the 31 markets, Index scores were lower than the perceived state of

health and well-being; this is especially true of the U.S. and European markets.

Below is a summary of key health and well-being issues, and how they impact

us globally. Some of these issues include the key role friends and family play in

driving health and well-being, the impact of economic uncertainty, our approach

to managing health and how stress impacts our lives.

Across markets, personal relationships is the key stated

driver to health and well-being

Globally, we place a high importance on our relationships with family and friends

(87%) and the health of our family (86%) relative to how they affect our own

sense of health and well-being. As it turns out, we are also highly satised with

these aspects of our lives (87% and 80% respectively). Conversely, people

recognize that how they feel has a real impact on how well they get along with


7/92


family and friends (72%). Across markets, in particular those with the highest

Index scores, satisfaction with family relationships and friendships drove strong

feelings of health and well-being.

Stress is a global issue, driven by nancial and economic

concerns

Every market is experiencing some level of stress, just to varying degrees. From

a combined market perspective, 70 percent of people experience stress, with

one in three (33%) saying they are a lot or somewhat stressed. The Americas

and Europe tend to have higher levels of stress than those living in the Middle

East and some Asian Pacic countries. Our stressors are focused on immediate

micro concerns, such as having enough money to pay bills, as well as macro issues,

such as the economy and healthcare costs. The threat of job loss is also a majorstressor, and is felt most acutely by the worlds emerging economies, as well as

European nations, such as Spain, whose economies are struggling.

When it comes to managing our health, what we say and what we do differs.

While the majority of people across markets claim to have a strong sense of

personal responsibility as it relates to health management (91%), their actions

tell a somewhat different story. Nearly half (48%) of people across markets dont

exercise as much as they think they should, just 40 percent believe they are as

physically t as they can be for their age, and 35 percent believe they eat healthier

than most people. From a preventative health perspective, developed nations are

more likely to see their doctor on a regular basis for a general check-up, while

those in markets such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, India and Indonesia are

less likely to get annual check-ups. However, its important to note that access and

healthcare costs may be playing a role in these regions.

Philips can be at the core of addressing the trends seen across the globe by

providing meaningful innovations that encourage people to engage with the

people most important to them, help to alleviate the stress felt in everyday life,

and encouraging them to take control of their health so they can live long and

fruitful lives.

III. Survey Methodology

The Overall Approach

This report is based on samples taken from

31 markets globally. Sample sizes, methodology, and

weighting were determined on a country-by-country

basis to best reect the demographic make-up in

that country. These differences should be taken into

consideration when making cross market comparisons.

Where global averages are presented, they are simple

averages of the country means and are not weighted

by sample or population size.

Notes on Data within the Report

Combined total sample and country comparisons are provided throughout this report. The combined total is an

un-weighted average of all markets that asked a question and/or response option.

Throughout the analysis, signicant differences have been identied and highlighted across gender, age and market /

region, where relevant.o For example, markets highlighted with green are signicantly higher than the combined total, while markets

highlighted in red are signicantly below the combined total.

o Signicant differences across demographics are circled within this report.

Throughout the report, D/K (Dont know) answer options have been excluded. As a result, percentages may not

always add to 100.

Please note that not all questions and answer options were included in all markets. Accordingly, N/As have been

added to gures and tables when this is the case.

o Any differences in questions or responses have been notated throughout the report.

Countries are grouped together within charts and gures based on Philips perspective on markets and regions.

It should be noted that one should be careful when drawing rm hypotheses where only minor differences exist

among markets due to slight differences in sampling across markets included in this report.

IV. General State of Global Health and Well-Being

IV a. Overall

Current State of Health and Well-Being

For the most part, feelings of health and well-being are

strong across the globe. However, the UK, China, Taiwan

and Japan are the least likely to say they are feeling

good or very good. China and Taiwan, in par ticular,

are the markets most likely to say they are not doing well

from a health and well-being perspective. In Indonesia,

there is strong polarization since people are just as likely

to feel good about their health and well-being as not.

Changes in Health and Well-Being

Evolution of sentiment towards health and well-being varies

across region. Emerging markets, such as the Kingdom of

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and India

claim to have had the best improvement in their feelings

of health and well-being compared to ve years ago. In

Europe, those living in Belgium, France, Italy and the UK are

most likely to say their feelings have got worse over the

last ve years. In Asia, the Japanese and Taiwanese are most

likely to feel this way too.

Figure 2: Would you say your feeling of health and well-being has got much worse, slightly worse, stayed the same, got a little better,

or got much better in the last ve years?

IV b. The Philips Index

What is the Philips Index?

How are the Indices Calculated?

The Philips Index is an analysis that weights overall

satisfaction with various components of health and

well-being by their relative stated importance. Rather

than merely asking how one feels, the Index weights

17 components tied to health and well-being.

Doing so allows the opportunity to isolate drivers and

satisfaction relative to components that are

considered important. In addition to the Overall

Health and Well-being Index, sub-indices were created

to examine Physical Health, Well-being, Job, Friends

and Family, and Community. These indices are found

throughout this report.

Using survey questions three (stated importance) and question four (satisfaction), OneVoice

Measurement multiplied the average stated importance against average satisfaction. More specically:

Total Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across all drivers to healthand well-being (1-17). Those drivers are:

o Your job

o How much you earn

o How much you weigh

o Your overall physical health

o Your mental health

o The community you live in

o Your relationship with your family and friends

o How much stress you have

o The place of worship you attend, if any

o How much you contribute to your communityo The overall physical health of family members

o Your relationship with your spouse or partner

o Your relationship with your boss and coworkers

o The cost of living

o The amount of vacation time you have

o The amount of free time you have to spend with friends and family

o The amount of free time you can spend alone


15/92


Job Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the following items:

o Your job, how much you earn, your relationship with your boss and coworkers and the amount

of vacation you have.

Community Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the following

items:

o The community you live in, how much you contribute to your community and the cost of living.

Physical Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the following

items:

o How much you weigh and your physical health.

Emotional Health Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the

following items:

o Your mental health, how much stress you have, the place of worship you attend, if any and how

IV b. The Philips Index (ctd)

Relative to the Combined Overall Health and

Well-being Index (the average of the Index in each

of the 31 countries), emerging markets in the Middle

East, Asia, and Asia Pacic are generally doing better

from a health and well-being perspective when

compared to some of the worlds more developed

economies. Additionally, while those in Italy and Turkey

initially perceive themselves to have good levels of

health and well-being, when taking into account

factors that drive health and well-being, they are doing

less well than initially stated. In contrast, those in China,

Taiwan, Korea and Malaysia state their health and

well-being as low, however when comparing the

factors that drive health and well-being, they are doing

much better than initially stated.

IV c. Drivers of Health and Well-Being

After physical drivers, emotional health and key

relationships are strong inuencers on health and

well-being. However, large gaps exist between the

importance that certain aspects have on feelings of

well-being, and the level of satisfaction people have

with each of these aspects. Across the globe, the

largest gaps exist with how much people earn and the

cost of living, two components that are strongly

correlated. Other large gaps exist with aspects of

physical health (of themselves and family members),

and how much stress people have in their lives.

Globally, Feelings of Health and Well-Being Impact Key

Relationships More Than Other Aspects of Peoples Lives15 16 17 18

How one feels has a direct impact on other aspects of

ones life. Globally, relationships with friends/family and

the overall physical health of family members are

impacted most by ones own state of health and

well-being. These effects are felt most strongly by

women. Globally, physical and emotional factors, such

as weight, appetite/diet and stress, are also most strongly

affected by health and well-being among women.

Drivers of Health and Well-being: Job/Career

When looking at nancial drivers, large gaps exist

globally between their importance and satisfaction;

these gaps are largest when it comes to how much

people earn. The Japanese, Taiwanese, and Brazilians

are most dissatised with what they earn. However,

in every region covered there are key markets with

large gaps in satisfaction.

Drivers of Health and Well-Being: Community

Regardless of geography, there are high levels of

dissatisfaction with the current cost of living. This

sentiment is felt most strongly by those within the

developed nations, and in particular, some of the

worlds stock market centers (US, UK and Japan)

where over half the population is dissatised.

Drivers of Health and Well-Being: Physical HealthBy and large, dissatisfaction with weight is a common

theme across markets. This is particular ly true among

the nations of the Americas and developed European

nations. With the exception of the Philippines, there is

a strong correlation between a countrys satisfaction

with weight and their satisfaction with their overall

physical health.

dissatised with the amount of stress they have in

their lives (relative to the importance it plays to their

well-being). Developed markets, such as the US,

Belgium, UK, and Japan have the largest gaps when it

comes to stress. Among emerging markets, both the

Philippines and Taiwan are strongly dissatised with

current stress levels. As is Russia, the only BRIC market

to be signicantly more dissatised than the global

V. Key Driver Analysis

Stated versus Derived Importance

To gain a deeper understanding as to what is truly driving peoples good feelings of health

and well-being, an analysis was conducted to uncover which components were relatively

more important than others to overall health and well-being. This driver analysis is aderived importance analysis where correlations between overall health and well-being and

satisfaction with specic components are determined. For each market, components of

health and well-being are grouped into the following categories:

Key Drivers: components people say are important to having a good feeling of health

and well-being and inuence whether or not people feel good.

Hidden Drivers: components that people dont explicitly state as being important, but

often inuence good feelings of health and well-being.

Table Stakes: components people see as must haves for them to have a good feeling of

health and well-being. These components are often considered table stakes, but do not

differentiate how well people feel when they are lost.

Relatively Unimportant: components that are not impor tant in shaping peoples good

feelings of health and well-being.

For the purpose of this repor t, key drivers were examined across developed and emerging

markets. What follows is a round-up of the common key drivers, as well as how these key

drivers differ by type of market.


31/92


Key drivers32 of Health and Well-being: Developed Markets33

Among developed markets, the key driver of health

and well-being that each market has in common is

overall physical health. Key differences exist among

European markets. In Spain, France and Germany,

drivers are nancially driven, while in the UK,

Netherlands and Belgium, drivers are focused on

stress and health. In Australia, Korea, and Singapore,

personal relationships are the key drivers to well-being.

In the Nordic region, dealing with stress levels is key

to a good state of health and well-being.

Sidebar: RelationshipsRelationships are very important to having a good

sense of health and well-being. In the vast majority of

cases, people are more satised with their relationship

with their friends and family compared with their

spouse or par tner. This is par ticularly true for Filipinos

and Japanese who are the least satised with their

relationship with their spouse or par tner. Additionally,

Brits, the Japanese and Egyptians indicated they are

the least satised with their relationships with their

boss and co-workers.

Philips Index Components: Physical and Emotional Health

From a physical health standpoint, European nations fare

least well. Overall, gender differences tend to be small; in

cases where gaps exist, womens lower scores are drivenby their dissatisfaction with their weight relative to the

role it plays to their well-being. In general, people tend

to be doing better from an emotional health standpoint;

much like physical health, Europeans tend to lag behindother nations with regards to emotional health.

Philips Index Components: Work/Life Balance

Interestingly, some of the wor lds nancial centers,

and developed countries, have the worlds lowest

Job Index scores, while APAC has quite high scores.

Few gender differences exist across markets. Below

average scores in developed nations could be dr iven

by peoples dissatisfaction with compensation relative

to the number of hours they work, and time lost

with family and friends. Friends and family, relative to

other Index scores in each market, are relatively high

in most countries. These scores are a reection of the

important role personal relationships play to peoples

sense of health and well-being.

Figure 6: Do you consider yourself to be overweight?46 Due to cultural reasons, in China and Taiwan this question was phrased as Do you consider yourself to be in a state of sub-health?

In Egypt and South Africa, this question was not asked.47 Due to cultural reasons, in China and Taiwan this question was phrased as Do you consider yourself to be in a state of sub-health?

Overall, People Have a Positive Body Image46

Generally, most people dont consider themselves

to be overweight despite national data from health

organizations that reveal data to the contrary. Countries

in the Americas and Europe are most likely to say they

are overweight, in particular Belgium, Finland,

the Netherlands, and the UK. In both China and Taiwan,

half believe they are in a state of sub health47.

Across markets, most people who do want to lose

weight, only want to lose between 1 and 5 kilograms.

People living in the US along with several European

markets like Russia, Spain, Turkey and the UK, are most

likely to want to lose 10 kilograms or more.

Even though a high number of people in Japan and

Korea believe they are overweight, very few believe

that they need to lose a signicant amount of weight.

Most Would Use a Combination of Diet and Exercise to Lose

WeightJust over half of people across markets would

increase their exercise regimen when trying to

lose weight. Interestingly, people would rather give

up sweets, salty snacks and junk food than alcohol

when trying to lose weight. While there is little

difference in the approach men and women would

take towards losing weight globally, women are more

likely to cut back food consumption than are men.

Many People Across the Globe Arent Getting Enough Sleep

While sleep patterns vary, in most markets large

portions of society dont feel they are getting enough

sleep on a daily basis (most notably those living in

France , Norway, Sweden, and Taiwan, with almost half

being sleep depr ived). In UAE, Turkey and India at

least one in ten of citizens feel sleep deprived, these

countries have the highest percentage of people

who sleep well.

Reasons for Lack of Sleep: Globally53

Going to bed late and having to wake up early in the

morning is the number one reason across markets

as to why people dont get the sleep they need.

Snoring, sleep apnea, and other health conditions,

while impacting some, appear to have little impact

on sleeping patterns. The top reasons appear to be

work related and driven by stress.

Reasons for Lack of Sleep: Market Details54

Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore are the

most likely to cite late nights and early mornings as

the top reason behind sleep deprivation. This may

be driven by tougher working conditions, as well as

transportation issues affecting travel to and from work

in those markets. Stress and worry is affecting peoples

sleep in many markets across the globe, most notably

in Belgium, Italy, India, Singapore and the US.

Figure 11: How stres sed do you consider yourself to be?

While Stress is a Global Issue, Some Regions Experience it More

than Others

Every market is experiencing some level of stress, just to

varying degrees. The US and Europe tend to have higher

levels of stress than those living in the Middle East and

some Asia Pacic countries; in particular, France, Finland,

Russia and the UK where almost half of the people say

they are a lot or somewhat stressed. People in India

and Taiwan feel particularly stressed, with two-thirds and

three-fourths feeling a lot or somewhat stressed.
