| Chinanews, Shanghai, July 18 – Zhaopin Ltd has conducted a survey on the health conditions of young white collars1 in Shanghai, as many of them are complaining about not feeling well these days, particularly in the hot and humid weather. The survey covers 5,000 people, finding2 that 60% of respondents lead an irregular life, and only 10% of them often take exercises.
Some 26.8% of the respondents admit that they are overweight, including 9.4% who think they are very fat. About 10% of them are already suffering from hypertension, hyperlipermia or hyberglycemia.
Unfortunately, only 49% of the respondents are aware of the possible risks of the three diseases3 mentioned above, for most of them believe it’s still too early for them to think about these diseases. Besides, no more than 31.8% of respondents take a physical check every year.
In fact, many young people die of karoshi, or to die from prolonged4 overwork, every year, thus Zhaopin suggests that young white collars should pay more attention to their health, before it is too late. After the survey, about 83.8% of the respondents say they will take their health more seriously.
