Sinaloa, fifth place in life satisfaction: INEGI

Sinaloa.- In Sinaloa, 15.8 percent of the population has symptoms of depression, while 48.9 percent refer symptoms related to anxiety, according to the results of the latest National Welfare Survey 2021 of Inegi Autorreportado (Enbiare), despite these data the state is in the fifth place of greater life satisfaction. Some issues that were taken into account to measure anxiety between “severe” and “minimal” were questions such as “how often do you feel nervous, worried, restless or with nerves on edge?”, in the case of anxiety, it is reported that more women than men suffer from it. Nationally, 23 percent of women have severe anxiety and, in the case of men, it manifests itself in 15 percent. For the study, the level of income, employment, community, education, environment, civic engagement or work/life balance, for example, of the population of Mexico was measured; more than 34,000 household surveys were conducted between June and July 2021.In the case of depression, Inegi asked people if they felt sad, depressed, if they had trouble sleeping or enjoying life, for example. In the case of Sinaloa, slightly higher levels of depression were found than at the national level where, on average, 15.4 percent of people suffer from it, in the case of men it pointed out 10.7 percent of respondents and for women it is 19.5 percent. Read more: The suspected case of omicron in Sinaloa has not yet been confirmedSatisfaction Likewise, the population of Nuevo León is the one that reports the greatest satisfaction with life, but, in contrast, the inhabitants of Mexico City are the ones who express the lowest well-being among all the entities.
