Women Talk Survey on the Healthy Lifestyle

November 6th, 2007

The National Women’s Health Resource Center (NWHRC) recently published its annual Women Talk Survey.  Bottom line: women are well aware of the value of the Healthy Lifestyle but many do not have the time, knowledge or habits to lead a healthy life.

Conducted in April 2007 with interviews of over 1100 women, the Women Talk Survey found that women believe that taking care of themselves is their number 1 priority. They understand they need to be fit and healthy in order to provide care to their loved ones.  Older women were more likely to emphasize the importance of maintaining lifestyle and independence, while younger women focused on being fit and looking good.

Most of the women recognize barriers to acting out the habits of health.  The majority of women set goals for themselves, but were having trouble achieving them.  For example, 61% of the respondents cited losing weight as a goal, but only 24% had achieved it.
