A Word About the Philips Index for Health and Well-Being: A Global Perspective from the Center Director
Welcome, and on behalf of Philips, thank you for taking the time to learn more about our report, 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 findings 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 health 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 driver. 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 fit as we could be for our age. This study is based on responses from nearly 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 barriers 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 reports 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 understanding that together we can drive positive change for people. Yours sincerely, Katy Hartley, Director of The Philips Center for Health & Well-being www.philips-thecenter.org

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 satisfied 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 drive 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 reflect 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 report, 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 specifically:
o o o
How do they currently feel? How has this feeling changed over time? How important, and how satisfied, are people with the components that drive feelings of health and well-being? 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 specifically:
o
What are their future health concerns?
o o o
How much responsibility do they take for their own health? How often do they visit the doctor and dentist? 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 find 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 satisfied 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
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 financial 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 Pacific 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 major stressor, 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 fit 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

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, significant differences have been identified and highlighted across gender, age and market / region, where relevant. o For example, markets highlighted with green are significantly higher than the combined total, while markets highlighted in red are significantly below the combined total. o Significant 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 figures 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 figures based on Philips perspective on markets and regions. It should be noted that one should be careful when drawing firm 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 particular,

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 five 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 five years. In Asia, the Japanese and Taiwanese are most likely to feel this way too.

IV b. The Philips Index

What is the Philips Index?
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.
How are the Indices Calculated?

Using survey questions three (stated importance) and question four (satisfaction), OneVoice Measurement multiplied the average stated importance against average satisfaction. More specifically: Total Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across all drivers to health and 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 community o 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
Job Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the following items: o Y our 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 much free time you can spend alone. Family/Friends Index = the average of Q3 (stated importance) x Q4 (satisfaction) across the following items: o Your relationship with family and friends, the overall physical health of family members, your relationship with your spouse or partner and the amount of free time you have to spend with family and friends.
IV b. The Philips Index (ctd)

What do the scores mean?
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 Pacific 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 relation ships are strong influencers 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
Combined Total Importance Job/Career Drivers How much you earn Your job The amount of vacation time you have Your relationship with your boss and coworkers Community Drivers The cost of living The community you live in

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 financial 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 dissatisfied with what they earn. However, in every region covered there are key markets with large gaps in satisfaction.

Drivers of Health and Well-Being: Emotional Health

With few exceptions, people worldwide are dissatisfied 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 dissatisfied with current stress levels. As is Russia, the only BRIC market to be significantly more dissatisfied than the global average.

Drivers of Health and Well-Being: Friends and Family

The largest gap, as it relates to friends and family, has to do with the amount of free time people get with the people that are most important to them. This is consistent from market to market, with only Italy, Turkey, KSA and Malaysia feeling satisfied with the time they have available to spend with friends and family.

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 a derived importance analysis where correlations between overall health and well-being and satisfaction with specific 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 influence whether or not people feel good. Hidden Drivers: components that people dont explicitly state as being important, but often influence 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 important in shaping peoples good feelings of health and well-being.
For the purpose of this report, 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.
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 financially 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: Relationships
Relationships are very important to having a good sense of health and well-being. In the vast majority of cases, people are more satisfied with their relationship with their friends and family compared with their spouse or partner. This is particularly true for Filipinos and Japanese who are the least satisfied with their relationship with their spouse or partner. Additionally, Brits, the Japanese and Egyptians indicated they are the least satisfied with their relationships with their boss and co-workers.

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 significant amount of weight.

Most Would Use a Combination of Diet and Exercise to Lose Weight

Just 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.

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.

Stress and worry is affecting peoples sleep in many markets across the globe, most notably in Belgium, Italy, India, Singapore and the US.

Spending Time with Friends and Family is the Preferred Way of Improving Health and Well-Being60
Universally, having time to themselves or with family/ friends, are the key ways people improve their sense of well-being.These sentiments are felt most strongly in the Americas and Europe, especially in the US, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.The Swedes are least likely to feel this way. Surprisingly, in countries with strong family traditions and connections, less people cite these activities as necessary to improving well-being.This could be driven by the fact that these markets KSA, UAE, Turkey have such high levels of satisfaction with their current state of personal relationships.

Across markets, very few people believe there is not much they can do about their health. Those in Brazil, Portugal, UAE and the US are most likely to believe that for the most part, my health is up to me.

Preventative Health from a Global Standpoint

There are regional differences when it comes to taking preventative health measures. People in developed nations are much more likely to see their doctor on a regular basis for a general check-up than those in emerging markets. China is the key exception; more than half claim to visit the doctor annually for a general check-up. Markets such as Egypt, India, Indonesia, KSA, Turkey, and UAE are most likely not to get regular check-ups. Access and healthcare costs likely play a role in these markets.

Globally the Frequency of Dentist Visits Vary by Market

Generally speaking, there is a high propensity to visit the dentist for a cleaning or general check-up at least once a year. The key exceptions are China, Japan, Korea, KSA, UAE; access to dental care could be playing a role in some of these markets. There is a distinct difference in frequency of visits in developed markets compared with those in emerging markets. In the US and Europe people tend to visit the dentist more frequently than those living in the Middle East and some Asian markets.

Doctors Sought Out for Health and Medical Information First, Before Any Other Source Across the Globe

Doctors Are the First Choice for Health Information Globally

Doctors are the clear-cut first choice for health news and information almost universally. The only exceptions are the Japanese and the Swedes, who turn to the Internet first, and Indonesians and Malaysians, who turn first to their family and friends. Access and cost of healthcare, as well as social traditions, may be driving this sentiment in these markets, as well as in India where family is also turned to for health information. The Dutch are just as likely to seek out their doctor as to go on the Internet, while the Nordics countries are more, or just as likely, to go online first.

The Nordics are the biggest pessimists when it comes to technology extending life expectancy. When it comes to communicating with their doctor, Europeans want more of a digital connection as many wish they could email when they have questions.

While few markets believe they are going to live a shorter life than their parents, the least optimistic markets are UAE, Japan, India, Norway, Russia, Turkey, and Korea. Most people believe they are going to live until at least 70 years of age.

VII b. Older Citizens Attitudes to Health and Well-Being Aging Index77

The Aging Index is an examination of citizens 65 and older, and gives us a sense of how well they are doing relative to the general population within each market (specific to that countries total Index score, which is a weighted satisfaction score of the components of health and well-being). From a combined market

perspective, older people are doing less well than the general population. Additionally, this calculation reveals that our worlds older citizens are feeling better in Belgium, Japan, the Nordics and the Philippines, and having a tougher time in France, Germany, Turkey, Australia, Korea and Singapore.
Table 23 77 Aging Index is calculated among people 65 and older and is representative of those respondents total Index score relative to the total Index score of all respondents in that market. An Index of 100 indicates parity. For markets in which data was not collected for people 65 and older an Aging Index figure was not calculated.
General State of Health and Well-being

Unsurprisingly, older citizens in most markets rate their current state of health and well-being as being less than that of the population as a whole. In a few exceptionssuch as the US, Belgium, France and Singapore, the health and well-being of the older population is consistent with the nations as a whole.

Responsibility for Health

When we examine markets as a combined whole, there is little difference between the total market versus nations older citizens in regard to feelings of personal control of their health.The exceptions appear to be older citizens in Brazil and China, who are more likely than the general populations in their respective markets to believe their health is entirely in their own hands.

Not all Seniors Believe They are Getting Enough Sleep

For city comparisons, major cities were examined from regions around the globe, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Asia Pacific. Please note, due to sample size or questionnaire design, city data was not available for all markets involved in the Index studies.
IX a. Healthy Lifestyle
Overall, physical and mental health are the most important aspects of health and well-being in cities. However, there are significant differences between the importance of the community one lives in compared to the contributions one makes to that community. This difference is particularly true in London, Amsterdam, and Tokyo. Stress is also consistently ranked as an important factor to health and well-being. In Delhi, job and salary are significantly less important than in other cities.
