Focus on women health: tips for improving quality of life!

On March 7, 2025, an important evening for women's health took place in the health center for the self -employed, which took place shortly before World Women's Day. Under the motto "Let’s talk about ... women's health", around 70 SVS insured gathered to find out more about essential health issues such as mental health, heart health and menopause. Dr. Heribert Scheck, an expert in the health center, moderated the evening, in which the personal exchange between specialists and participants was in the foreground. Dr. Alexander Biach, General Director of the SVS, emphasized the urgency of such events to raise awareness of women -specific health issues. In addition, those present had the opportunity to carry out health check directly on site, which ranged from checking vascular health to quickly implementable tests to determine the vitamin D level. These exams took place in cooperation with the Austrian society from the golden cross, which underlines the importance of preventive measures.

men's health under pressure

Not only women have to struggle with health risks. As Gesundheitszentrum-kleis.de , the health of many men is very endangered. Statistical data show that 62 percent of men in Austria are overweight and a fifth suffers from obesity. The risk of a heart attack is significantly higher in men and the influence of unhealthy ways of life also leads to a lower life expectancy of average five years compared to women. It is alarming that many men do not use medical care examinations that are available free of charge and often recognize serious health problems far too late.

To strengthen men's health, you should take more responsibility for your health. Activities such as the "Movember", a worldwide initiative that focuses on promoting male health, calls on men to talk more openly about their health problems. The information about frequent male diseases, as well as prevention measures such as regular preventive examinations, are crucial. Together in such events and initiatives, work is made to raise awareness of the need for health care and personal responsibility in order to close the gap between life and quality of life.
