Last month we launched our new Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index which ranks 153 countries on six healthy ageing metrics, including life span, health span, work span, income, environment and happiness.
For the first time we can track progress, comparing whether countries have improved, or not, between 2019 and 2022. In other words we can get a good picture of where the UK was pre pandemic and where we as a country have ended up after it.
In our latest video, Arunima Himawan, ILC’s Senior Health Policy and Research Manager explains that we need a shift in policy from the next government to keep more of us healthier for longer.
