Women's health has worsened while men's health has improved, trends since 1990 show

(Umea University) Swedish researchers have studied health trends among women and men aged 25-34 from 1990-2014. In 1990, 8.5 percent of women self-rated their health as being worse than peers in their own age group. At 2014, this trend had increased to 20 per cent of women. In contrast, a bigger part of the men self-rated their health as better at the end of the study period compared to the start. The study is published in PLOS One.
