Oamenii trăiesc mai mult, dar petrec o parte tot mai mare din viață bolnavi. Concluzia îngrijorătoare a cercetătorilor

A global study reveals that while life expectancy has increased, many additional years are spent in poor health. The average global health state is precarious, with 14.5% of life lived in such conditions. Countries with the highest life expectancy also report more years of health issues, indicating that longevity often extends the period of illness rather than postponing it. Factors contributing to this trend include musculoskeletal disorders, mental health issues, and environmental risks. The study emphasizes the need for health systems to focus on improving the quality of life, not just its length.
