healthy life expectancy

The New Yorker, a United States-based magazine, will highlight Costa Rica’s healthcare system in its August 30 edition.

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Census, there are currently 626 centenarians living in Costa Rica.

The Social Security System has launched a new campaign seeking to change Ticos’ eating habits in order to stem a tide of increasing obesity.

An aging population makes voluntary pension savings increasingly important in Costa Rica, but a recent support shows relatively few Ticos are starting to save.

Recent research found that the Healthy Life Expectancy of Costa Ricans averages 71.85 years for women and 69.23 years for men. Both figures are better than the world average of 64 years.
