Healthspan, Lifespan, Disease Trends, and Economics: A Global Overview

While global average lifespans are increasing, major disparities exist both in terms of lifespan and healthspan, and these disparities are likely to continue in the future, with major regional variations in life expectancy, healthcare access, disease burden, and its socio-economic impact. The modelling for the future requires caution given the modelling methods used, but nevertheless provides an overview of likely future scenarios. These findings point towards a need for both global efforts to reduce the health gap, and regional-specific interventions tailored to different challenges. A few sources for those interested in delving a bit deeper: Global Healthspan-Lifespan Gaps Among 183 World Health Organization Member States; https://www.healthdata.org/news-events/newsroom/news-releases/global-life-expectancy-increase-nearly-5-years-2050-despite; COVID-19 eliminated a decade of progress; World health statistics 2024; Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021; https://www.visualcapitalist.com/japans-aging-problem-in-one-chart/; Longevity leap: mind the healthspan gap
