You may call it a coincidence, but people in the UAE now are paying more attention to their personal health than ever before

In the month where we’re trying to get fit, counting steps and staying active, the data from a Fitbit research conducted in the UAE shows we now care even more about our health than we did pre-COVID.

That’s right my fitness-loving friends in UAE, more than half of us have developed healthier habits during the pandemic, (it’s no surprise health comes out as a number one priority, AMIRITE?!) but unfortunately many of us have also taken on more stress, and 60% of people feel higher stress levels due to COVID-19.

18% of UAE folks who participated in the survey paid some attention to their personal health prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but NOW 55% of people surveyed say that they are prioritising their personal health now more than ever. That’s a pretty big jump!

This research was conducted by surveying over 1,000 people across the UAE during the month of August. Respondents were asked to share their perception of their personal health, stress and lifestyle habits in the wake of COVID-19. This research was analysed alongside anonymous and aggregated Fitbit user data also from the UAE from 24 February to 29 August 2020, that assessed sleep, activity and step data.

“The external research along with Fitbit user data has highlighted that the UAE population is now definitely in a mindset to adapt a healthier lifestyle and are making positive changes when it comes to their personal overall wellbeing. The sudden changes to our daily lives due to COVID-19 has given many people an opportunity to slow down and really take actions around improving one’ personal health and wellness” said Prateek Kewalramani, Senior Manager of Middle East & Africa at Fitbit.
