10.9.3.4 Prevalence of Stress and Pressure
The Social Capital Surveys 2004 and 2009 asked survey responders the amount of
stress or pressure they had experienced over the past 12 months. Further more
detailed information is available in the 2009 Social Capital Survey report available at
www.hullpublichealth.org.
Less than 10% of men and women aged 65-74 years and less than 6% of men and
women aged 75+ year feel that they have experienced a large amount of stress or
pressure in the last year, but this is higher in the younger age groups and highest in the
middle age groups (Table 326). For those aged under 34 years, slightly higher
percentages of women experience large amounts of stress or pressure compared to
men, but for those aged 35-64 years, more men compared to women have experienced
large amounts of stress and pressure over the last year.
