Six in 10 Americans admit they ignore symptoms that don’t feel “serious,” according to new research.
Conducted by Talker Research for MD Live, a survey of 2,000 adults evenly split by generation and gender found that more than half of women said they’re likely to ignore those symptoms (58%).
The survey explored the knowledge gap in understanding when symptoms that feel “mild” should be taken more seriously. Results found that of those who ignore minor symptoms like rashes, sleep issues or digestive issues, 43% said it’s because they assume they’re not serious.
Men are more likely to ignore minor symptoms because they believe they can push through them (46% vs. 38%), while 44% of women say they don’t act on these symptoms because they don’t want to overreact.
