As individuals,
First, we hope that with the progress of medical care and the improvement of living standards, the natural life span of each of us can be extended and we can live a long life.
The second hope is that we not only live a long life, but also hope that we can live very healthy and live to 80 or 90 years old. We hope not to stay at the bedside for a long time, but to live a healthy, walking and active life.
Let's take a look at this set of data
According to the research of Washington University, during the period from 1990 to 20 17, the growth rate of healthy life expectancy in most countries in the world was lower than that of life expectancy, increasing by 7.4 years and 6.3 years respectively.
The results of the fourth national sampling survey on the living conditions of the elderly in urban and rural areas in 20 18 show that the national average life expectancy in 20 18 is 77 years and the healthy life expectancy is 68.7 years, which is quite different. After the age of 60, 75% of the elderly have at least one chronic disease, and nearly 50% have two chronic diseases, so it is inevitable to live with illness for a long time. However, the medical expenses are constantly rising, and the medical expenses are very inflated, with an annual growth rate of 18%.
In the age of longevity, almost everyone lived with illness for a long time. In this case, the longer you live, the more you need medical support.
