A study sponsored by Prudential at the behest of The Economist. The main findings of the research are as follows:

  • Ample information does not necessarily lead to good health decisions.
  • Respondents are seeking more control over their physical as well as mental health.
  • Income levels do not dictate health and wellness optimism.
  • Low affordability limits people’s scope of action to live more healthily
  • Digital health technologies are popular but need to work harder for citizens
