From mental health to cancer and weight loss… The Sun’s Health Survey reveals the state of the nation’s health

The nation has had to combat Covid, nurses’ strikes, Strep A outbreaks, the worst flu season for a long time and record-high waiting lists and ambulance response times.

Making sure you are fighting fit — physically and mentally — can help ward off illnesses and diseases and reduce pressure on the NHS.
As prevention is better than cure, we are launching our Health Kick series to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle in 2023.
First up, we wanted to know what really matters to you.
What are the health concerns that keep you up at night and what do you need more help with?
We asked 860 readers to take part in our Sun Health survey so we can bring the right advice to make your lives easier.
We ran the results past Dr Rachel Ward, of the Woodlands Medical Centre Didcot, Oxfordshire.
She said: “The poll reflects the concerns and problems I see as a GP every day.
“We know obesity is a huge health issue as it significantly increases your risk of many serious diseases, including diabetes, cancer, strokes and heart attacks.

“It’s unsurprising 61 per cent are overweight or obese — and this fits national figures. It’s interesting that only 48 per cent therefore plan to lose weight in 2023.
“A worrying 37.9 per cent think their children are overweight or obese.
“Teaching your child good eating habits is one of the best lessons you can give them. One of the best ways of improving your health is to exercise regularly.
“A 20-minute walk outside, quickly enough to increase your heart rate, is a great starting point.
“Seventy-five per cent are having sex less than once per week. Almost half of those blame it on being tired or lack of time.
“Increasing your sexual activity is great for getting your heart rate going and boosting endorphins and mood. It will also improve your energy levels.
“It is unsurprising, but sad, that almost half of responders reported mental health issues. There has been a massive increase in this through the pandemic and now, as we face the cost-of-living crisis.
“And more than half of parents were concerned about their children’s mental health. I encourage them to seek help for their children as there are many organisations out there to offer support to you and your family that you can be directed to.”
Over the next four weeks, Sun Health will use the survey results to help you make positive changes.
Let’s start by looking at the state of Sun readers’ health . . .
- Throughout January, our Health Kick series will be diving into the worlds of nutrition, fitness, mental health, family health and sleep.

Stack Overflow Survey Finds More Developers Now Use Linux Than MacOS
This week he spotted a new milestone for Linux in the 2022 StackOverflow developer survey:
[Among the developers surveyed] Linux as a primary operating system had been steadily climbing for the past 5 years. 2018 through 2021 saw steady growth with 23.2%, 25.6%, 26.6%, 25.3%, and finally in 2022 the usage was 40.23%. Linux usage was more than macOS in 2021, but only by a small margin. 2022 it is now 9% more than macOS.
Their final stats for “professional use” operating system:
Windows: 48.82%Linux-based: 39.89%MacOs: 32.97%
But Garrison’s blog post notes that that doesn’t include the million-plus people all the Linux-based cloud development environments (like GitHub Workspaces) — not to mention the 15% of WSL users on Windows and all the users of Docker (which uses a Linux VM).
“It’s safe to say more people use Linux as part of their development workflow than any other operating system.”

Stack Overflow Survey Finds 74% of Developers are ‘Actively’ Looking or ‘Open to’ a New Job
Almost three-quarters (74%) of developers are actively looking for new roles or are open to fresh opportunities, according to research…. The highest percentage of active job seekers is in the 20-24 year-old cohort (27%), with 21% for 25-34 year-olds, 17% for 35-44 year-olds, and only 12% for 45-54 year-olds.
Additionally, the percentage of younger developers actively searching for their next role increased nine points year over year, according to the survey of 2,600 developers by StackOverflow….
Some 54% of respondents to the StackOverflow survey said a better salary is the largest motivator when considering a new opportunity. The biggest factors that stop developers from looking for new jobs are flexibility (58%), salary (54%), and learning opportunities (54%). Developers also want flexibility and the option to work from home, with 46% citing starting/ending the day at a precise time or being expected to work from an office (44%) as the top drawbacks in their current roles.
“Regardless of the economy, it’s clear salary is important but it’s not everything,” says StackOverflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar.
