A recent study shows that the increase in life expectancy worldwide has not been matched by improvements in healthy life years. While lifespan has increased significantly, the proportion of years people live in good health has not changed similarly, with chronic diseases and disabilities concentrated in the later years of life. The study clarified that the average life expectancy has risen from 64.6 to 73.8 years since 1990, while healthy life years have increased from 55.9 to 63.1 years. People currently spend about 14.5% of their lives in poor health. The leading causes of health decline include musculoskeletal disorders, depression, and hearing loss, with significant impacts from obesity and high blood sugar levels. Experts affirmed that advances in medicine have helped extend lifespan but have not improved quality of life. They called for increased investment in prevention and long-term care for chronic diseases, emphasizing the importance of mental health and maintaining functional abilities.
