68 per cent of Gen Zs not confident about maintaining good physical health in old age; least confident generation

Almost 1 in 2 Gen Zs are worried about mental health while 41 per cent are concerned about the ability to fund healthcare costs in old age

SINGAPPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 November 2024 – Singaporeans are leading healthier lives[1], yet most Gen Zs lack confidence in maintaining physical health in old age[2] (68 per cent) according to a study sponsored by Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”) and written by Economist Impact. Gen Z is the least confident generation when it comes to maintaining physical health, followed by Baby Boomers (67 per cent), Millennials (57 per cent), then Gen X (56 per cent). Mental health in old age was a concern that cut across age groups and was shared by half of Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X surveyed.

The study titled Healthspan barometer: evaluating public perspectives on healthy ageing in Singapore surveyed 1,014 Singapore residents aged 20 to 70 years old to understand their attitudes towards achieving a long healthspan. Healthspan is the period of one’s life spent in relatively good health, without chronic illnesses and age-related disabilities. The average life expectancy in Singapore is 84 years old, while the average healthspan is 74[3]. This means we spend around a decade of our lives in ill health[4].

Highlighting the importance of healthspan, Dr Sidharth Kachroo, Chief Health Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “When we enhance our healthspan, we increase the number of healthy years in our life, not just add years to life. With nearly seven in 10 Gen Zs not confident about maintaining their physical health in old age and about half not confident about maintaining their mental health, starting preventive health measures early is crucial. By prioritising well-being at a young age, we can increase our chances for a long and healthy life.”

Gen Z’s distinctive concerns about ageing

The younger generation of respondents is aware of the importance of both physical and mental health in determining healthspan. Gen Zs are particularly concerned about maintaining their independence and avoiding social isolation in old age.

  • Top physical health concerns: not being able to perform day-to-day tasks (35 per cent); the inability to afford necessary healthcare services or medical treatments (33 per cent); and having one or more chronic conditions (31 per cent).
  • Top mental health concerns: feeling isolated from the community and society (34 per cent); cognitive decline or memory problems (32 per cent); and developing depression and/or anxiety (27 per cent).

Nearly 40 per cent of Gen Zs focus on reducing or managing work-related stress. This highlights the younger generation’s emphasis on work-life harmony and maintaining a balanced lifestyle as they enter the workforce.

Dr Kachroo added: “Equally as important as addressing physical and mental health concerns is putting in place a robust financial plan to cover future healthcare costs. This proactive, comprehensive approach can help one to maintain independence and pay for healthcare needs in old age.”

Key drivers of health management for a longer healthspan

When it comes to what defines healthy ageing, more than one-third of Singapore respondents share the same perspective. About 43 per cent believe it involves being physically active, while 35 per cent associate it with being free from chronic illness and maintaining cognitive function.

Meanwhile, the top factors identified as drivers of overall health management were adequate sleep and rest (55 per cent), a balanced and nutritious diet (46 per cent), and regular physical activity (45 per cent). Sandwiched between career and care-giving, millennial respondents in particular prized sleep the most (63 per cent), significantly more than Gen Zs (48 per cent).

Singapore residents are well supported in their health journey with access to a comprehensive range of national health initiatives such as Healthier SG and National Steps Challenge. There is high awareness of these initiatives, though adoption continues to require encouragement. For example, nearly four in 10 Gen Zs surveyed said they know about the HealthHub app but have not used it.

Dr Kachroo urged people to find out more about health resources that are available, stating: “Singaporeans have a strong awareness of the importance of healthy ageing and are supported by various national initiatives that provide a foundation for building good healthy habits. We encourage people to make the time to explore these resources as well as to leverage those available to them from private institutions such as Prudential to help them on their journey to age well.”

Prudential is focused on proactively enhancing the health of Singaporeans through its offerings. Policyholders of its MediSave-approved Integrated Shield Plan PRUShield enjoy a complimentary preventive health screening to promote early detection. Furthermore, those newly diagnosed with chronic illnesses such as high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes can enrol in Chronic Care Management Programmes to get holistic support for long-term health management.

About the study

Healthspan barometer: evaluating public perspectives on healthy ageing in Singapore explores how people in Singapore gauge their prospects for living a healthy, long life. It groups healthspan enablers into three pillars: individual resilience, financial planning and social structures. The respondents surveyed are across the four age groups: Gen Zs (born 1997 – 2006), Millennials (born 1981 – 1996), Gen X (born 1965 – 1980), Baby Boomers (1945 – 1964).

Dr. Paiboon’s hands-on leadership style ensures the highest standards of quality across Giffarine’s operations. The company’s modern manufacturing facility adheres to international standards and has a production capacity of 20 million products per month, supporting both domestic and export markets in over 38 countries.

A respected figure in the business community, Dr. Paiboon has held leadership roles including President of the Thailand Direct Selling Association and board positions with prominent organisations such as Kasikornbank. Her contributions have earned her numerous accolades, including the Leading Women Entrepreneur of the World award in 2007.

Dr. Paiboon’s commitment to ethical governance and sustainability has fostered a corporate culture at Giffarine that prioritises integrity and transparency. Under her stewardship, Giffarine has maintained high liquidity and profitability without bank debt, demonstrating prudent financial management and resilience.

As Giffarine approaches its third decade in business, Dr. Paiboon remains steadfast in her mission to drive growth while adhering to the founding values of the company. Her journey is a testament to the power of visionary leadership, inspiring others to overcome challenges and create a lasting impact.

The ACES Awards enhance the visibility of outstanding leaders like Dr. Paiboon by showcasing Asia’s business aspirations and success stories on the global stage through knowledge sharing and recognition. The ACES Council praises, “Dr. Nalinee Paiboon’s ability to turn challenges into opportunities is a testament to her unwavering commitment and strategic acumen.” This strong third-party endorsement of trustworthiness and excellence empowers award winners to accelerate revenue growth and profitability while highlighting the remarkable legacies that visionary leaders have cultivated over the years.
