Longevity in Singapore
| There is some classification of five areas with particular longevity as Blue Zones, areas on the islands of Sardinia (Italy), Ikaria (Greece),Okinawa (Japan), and Costa Rica as well as California (USA). Now Singapore could be added to that list since its life expectancy has increased from 65 in 1960 to 86 today and the number of centenarians doubled from 2010 to 2020. The increase is linked to measures such as strong discouragement of smoking and drinking alcohol as well as nutritional labelling to encourage healthier dietary choices, physical activity, and green spaces in the city. related: #longevity |
