December 01 2022 - 12:00PM
23andMe Holding Co. (Nasdaq: ME) (“23andMe”), a leading human
genetics and biopharmaceutical company with a mission to help
people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome, today
reported survey results on how US adults are feeling about their
health this holiday season. According to the survey*, most people
in the US report feeling less stressed or anxious about their
health this year compared to earlier in the pandemic, and many have
returned to their traditional holiday celebrations.
In this third holiday under the shadow of COVID-19, people
appear to have adjusted to the new normal and are more optimistic
about their health.
However, most people are still concerned about their overall
health, with 77 percent of those surveyed indicating they still
feel some sort of negativity around their health.
Other highlights from the survey include:
- 14% of those surveyed said they were more stressed this year
compared to last, compared to more than 47% in 2020**
- Similarly, only about 5% of those surveyed said they were more
depressed this year compared to last year, compared to almost 32%
in 2020
- The percentage of respondents who feel less connected to
friends and family dropped from 48% in 2020 to just 5% in 2022
- Only about 17% of those surveyed said they would not be having
a traditional holiday this year, compared to 62% in 2020
- Almost 50% of the respondents who said they’re focused on their
health also said they planned to make healthy lifestyle changes in
the new year, with a focus on their diet and weight
