Canadian research about the health and the 50-Plus

Some research, conducted for Wyeth Consumer healthcare, shows Canada is not that different to the Europe in the views of the 50-Plus about their health.

These are the main findings from the research.

61% of baby boomers feel about 10 years younger than they are; 30% feel their actual age, while 7% feel older than they are

Exercise (76%) and watching what they eat (71%) are the key strategies to feel younger and healthier

60%) and heart disease (50%) are the most worrisome health concerns for baby boomers

Those aged 45 to 49 years are most likely to express concern about cancer (65%), while older baby boomers (60 to 64 years) are more likely to be worried about heart disease (54%)
