A survey of more than 10,000 Australian women has found 60 per cent of those polled consider themselves overweight. The major survey by women's health organisation Jean Hailes also found 40 per cent of respondents have been professionally diagnosed with depression or anxiety. The survey, released on Sunday, also found almost half of women wanted more information on healthy eating and nutrition, despite the saturated market. The annual survey for woman aged 18-89 comes ahead of women's health week which starts on September 4. Women's health week is a yearly campaign dedicated to inspiring women to take an interest in their health.
