Swiss Health Survey 2017: Resources and health behaviour of older adults Social differences: health inequalities among older adults

Social differences: health inequalities among older adults

The impact of social differences on health does not disappear with age. Persons aged 55 and over with a tertiary education generally enjoy better health and have better health habits than those with basic education. They are also more likely to have psycho-social resources such as strong social support (46% compared with 31%) or a high level of vitality (64% compared with 41%). These are some of the results from the Federal Statistical Office’s (FSO) latest publication.

You can find further information in the press releases in German, French and Italian. The English version only contains the lead of the press release.
