Over the last three years there have been two jumps in the percentage of responses indicating that regular exercise is the key to good health. Currently this is the top answer, while up to and including 2016 it was in third or fourth place. A healthy diet comes a very close second to regular exercise. Here the percentage of responses has not changed significantly, with around a half of the people surveyed from 2012 onwards being of the opinion that a healthy diet is the most crucial thing for your health. The view that regular appointments with the doctor are the key is becoming less common; earlier around 30% of respondents chose this answer, but over the last three years this has diminished by 11 percentage points.

Regular exercise was chosen more frequently by people in the 25-34 age group (69%), service sector employees (68%), self-‑employed people (64%), people from households with the greatest per capita income (64%) and those with left-wing views (64%).
