For the survey, 1,026 people in the canton were questioned, 533 of them women and 493 men; 868 people were of Swiss nationality, 158 people were of foreign origin. The survey is conducted every five years with people aged 15 and over throughout Switzerland.

More accidents, fewer hospital visits

Some 80.7% of the population of Graubünden said they were physically active. The Swiss average was 76%. However, Graubünden residents also had more accidents. Just under a quarter of them suffered an injury in 2022.

However, they were somewhat more reluctant to use healthcare facilities than the population in Switzerland as a whole.
