The average Singaporean also enjoys the longest span of living in good health - 74.2 years - but there has also been a rise in the number of unhealthy years people here live.

"The years that Singaporeans have gained are too often spent coping with age-related health problems."...What it means is that Singaporeans born in 2017 can "expect to live for 84.8 years, but that 10.6 of those years would be spent in poor health", according to the recently released report.
