Singaporeans' physical well-being at highest level since 2019

However, cost of living remains the primary stressor at 52%.

Physical well-being in Singapore reached its highest level since 2019, with 34% reporting good health, according to a 2024 Cigna Healthcare survey. 

The survey also found that chronic conditions in Singapore were lower than the global average with only 45% having at least one chronic condition, compared to 56% globally.

Moreover, Singaporeans reached their lowest stress level in seven years. About 79% reported feeling stressed whilst 36% said their mental health was doing good compared to 32% last year.

Men reported higher vitality than women with male respondents more likely to prioritise physical health. Amongst generations, baby boomers have the highest vitality followed by Gen X and Gen Z, whilst Millennials record the lowest score.

However, the cost of living remains the primary stressor for Singaporeans with 52% citing it as a major source of stress.

High vitality individuals said they manage their finances better with 86% expressing optimism, compared to the 12% of low vitality individuals.

Cigna noted that the link between vitality and effective health management underscores the need for comprehensive support for people experiencing health conditions.
