Mental health overtakes cancer and obesity as Britons’ biggest health worry
Ipsos survey asked people in 31 countries what they thought of their health and healthcare.
Mental health has overtaken cancer and obesity as the health problem most Britons worry about, a global survey has revealed. Experts said the shift in the public’s perception reflected the sharp rise in recent years in mental ill-health caused by the Covid pandemic, the cost of living crisis and male violence against women. The trend is revealed in a survey of what the public in 31 countries worldwide thinks about health and the healthcare they receive, undertaken by the pollsters Ipsos. When the study began in 2018, exactly the same proportion of British participants – 50% – identified cancer, obesity and mental health as among the biggest health problems facing the country. But mental health has moved up the rankings to become the illness that the most number of people (54%) in England, Scotland and Wales now say is a worry. In comparison, obesity was only mentioned in this year’s edition of the research by 36%, while cancer was also cited by slightly fewer than before (49%), even though record numbers were being diagnosed.
