Gen Z is the generation born between 1997 and 2012. Although they are still young, a significant number of Gen Z individuals report health complaints.
According to a Jakpat survey of 487 Gen Z respondents, more than half (58.5%) experience aches and pains.
Furthermore, 46.6% report easily feeling tired, 37% easily catch colds, 36% frequently experience headaches, and 30% complain of back or lower back pain.
A similar phenomenon has been recorded by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). According to the BPS, the health of young Indonesians has deteriorated over the past six years.
This is evident in the increasing percentage of reported health complaints and the incidence of illness experienced by young men and women during the 2016-2021 period.
The BPS found that these health complaints are more prevalent among young people living in urban areas than in rural areas.
