Recent epidemiological data from the WOBASZ3 study indicates significant health challenges in Poland, including a 39% overweight rate among adults, a 21% obesity rate, and over 32% suffering from hypertension. Additionally, nearly 900,000 people are living with undiagnosed diabetes.

Workplace stress has emerged as a major public health issue. Research indicates that 69% of employees experience mental fatigue during working hours, and 61% feel exhausted after work. Stress-related issues and adaptation disorders accounted for over 12.5 million sick leave days in Poland last year.

Socially, reports highlight growing isolation and financial insecurity among younger populations. A study shows that only 29.8% of Poles aged 18-24 feel confident in their finances. Furthermore, research suggests that nearly 20% of adults lack a close, lasting relationship.
