Women are more anxious than men

Are women less dashing than they appear in the media and movies? A survey in the US finds women as overly vulnerable to pangs and pains.
The survey seems to rebut the popular notion that women are naturally capable of overcoming agonies.
"Women are more likely than men to often feel worried, nervous or anxious" My Health News Daily reported.
The research done by Centers for Disease & Prevention recorded 22% women as saying that they felt nervous or anxious daily or weekly. But only 16% of men found as having same issues.
This cross-social analysis suggests that these issues self-limiting feelings are more common in young and middle-age adults.

"In men, 17% of those ages 18 to 44 and 18% of those between 45 & 64 reported daily or weekly worry, nervousness or anxiety. About 23% of women ages 18 to 64 said the same" The survey said.

Previously studies by the same team found adults as generally happier and less stressed younger generation.
In the latest survey that took place between 2010 and 2011 participants had to answer how often they had been hit by anxiety and worries. Options included daily, weekly, monthly, a few times in a year or never.
"In men, 17% of those ages 18 to 44, 18% of those between 45 and 64 reported daily or weekly worry, nervousness or anxiety. About 23% of women ages between 18 and 64 said the same" The survey said.
 Among elderly people aged over 75 only eleven% of men and 16% of women admitted to such feelings.
So the picture of the dashing women we find in the media is just a fad?
