Life expectancy in Singapore has increased sharply, and in 2023 the country was recognized as the world’s sixth “Blue Zone.” In the 1960s, people lived on average 65 years, but now this figure has reached 86 years. Over the past ten years, the number of people over 100 has also doubled.
Experts explain this by the government’s policies promoting a healthy lifestyle. Taxes on smoking and alcohol, restrictions in public places, and special labels on food help people make healthier choices.
Singapore’s healthcare system is also very strong. In 2023, the country ranked first in international ratings. Public insurance, private services, and citizen savings work together, making healthcare accessible and high quality for everyone.
The living environment also affects longevity. Singapore, known as the “garden city,” has many parks and green areas. In these places, people exercise, relax in nature, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
However, life in Singapore is very expensive. Despite this, stability, interethnic harmony, and rich culture create a high quality of life for residents and tourists. Singapore is thus recognized as a model for those seeking a long and healthy life.
