An enquiry was conducted into the stress problems of 118 independent businessmen in Switzerland aged between 24 and 67 years. 19% were receiving medical treatment compared with 21% of 1260 representatively registered employed men from 44 random samples from factories in North Switzerland. About one third of the treatment diagnoses were due to stress conditions. 45% of those registered were smokers, 14% of them pipe smokers. 57% were overweight. 91% took exercise, 19% of them for up to 10 hours weekly. 2% described the general feeling of stress as very strong, 29% as strong, 36% as medium and 31% as weak and 11% none at all. Only 4% admitted very severe or severe family stress, 16% medium, 23% slight and 57% none, but 21% complained of very great or great business stress, 34% medium, 33% slight and only 11% none.
