Ynet has posted the interesting results of some sort of survey. I do not know how accurate this poll or survey is, but even if not 100% accurate, it at least shows a good trend.
"Survey Says", to quote the various hosts of Family Feud, that 58% of Haredim in Israel regularly participate in some sort of fitness activity. Surprisingly, only 34.2% of the general population participates in some sort of regular fitness program. Female Haredim participate at a higher percentage than the men, and Bnei Braq specifically has the highest percentage of fitness participation of all the Haredi cities. 80% of Haredim also, according to the survey, are concerned with eating some sort of a healthy diet - 33% eat very healthy diets and 46& eat moderately healthy diets, while Hassidic Haredim are more careful about eating healthy than any of the other streams of Haredi Judaism.
I'd like to see some numbers that show the ramifications of the above survey, assuming ti is even close to accurate - the percentages showing usage of health care services, mortality rates, and the like. Do the numbers match up in some way?
