Hong Kong’s Longevity Paradox
Hong Kong has one of the world’s longest life expectancies, a distinction it has maintained for much of the past decade according to data from the city’s Centre for Health Protection. However, longer lifespans do not necessarily ensure healthier, more fulfilling, or financially secure lives, raising new challenges for healthcare systems in ageing societies.
