Why do 1 in 4 Singaporeans aged 40 and above suffer from chronic conditions? How often should you undergo health screening? What's the difference between lifespan and healthspan?
In today’s podcast, we invite Dr. Sidharth Kachroo, Chief Health Officer of Prudential Singapore, for a deep dive into the potential causes behind Singapore's growing chronic disease burden and the lifestyle habits Singaporeans may adopt to live longer, healthier lives, including how often to undergo health screening, how to prevent high cholesterol, and whether 8 glasses of water a day is really ideal.
