Talking about prolonging a healthy life is no longer just a theoretical idea. Rather, it has become a reality supported by scientific research and clinical studies that demonstrated the possibility of slowing aging and improving the quality of life. Saudi Arabia has adopted advanced health and nutritional policies aimed at raising the average life expectancy of citizens, as it has risen from 46 years in the sixties of the last century to about 79 years now. These developments came as a result of improving health services, enhancing diseases prevention and adopting healthy life methods, which reflects a major shift in the health care system and the national economy.
Achieving economic benefits from prolonging life
Health policies in Saudi Arabia contribute to reducing the cost of health care and stimulating productivity, as it is estimated that improving healthy age may save more than 40 trillion dollars annually of care costs around the world. Investing in aging science opens wide opportunities in the areas of biotechnology, preventive medicine, medical artificial intelligence, insurance and advanced care services. The strengthening of healthy age increases the participation of the workforce and enhances social cohesion, which reflects positively on the national economy and ensures the sustainability of human resources.

Enhancing the quality of life and health behaviors
The concept of healthy age is based on enabling citizens to enjoy their last years of good health and high quality. Public Health Consultant Dr. Saleh Al -Ansari stresses the need for a deep preventive orientation that includes improving physical activity, encouraging proper nutrition, controlling sleep, reducing stress, and providing social support for the elderly. Adopting healthy lifestyles enhances the productivity of the individual and reduces the burdens on the health system, and makes society more active and vital.
The role of research and innovation in prolonging life
Saudi Arabia has established the Hefoulushion Charitable Foundation for the Development of Aging Science and extending a healthy life through basic, transitional and sparked research. The Foundation focuses on developing new drugs to delay a health deterioration and prevent diseases associated with aging, as well as enhance access to treatments that prolong healthy age. The Kingdom has also launched national strategies to improve the quality of life, environmental protection, enhance food and water security, and to localize promising industries, in line with the goals of Vision 2030 and enhance long and healthy living opportunities.
Investing in prolonging a healthy life is not limited to the medical side only, but also extends to include economic and social benefits, as it enhances the productivity of society, reduces the costs of health care, raises the level of quality of life for citizens, and guarantees a sustainable healthy environment that contributes to the welfare of current and future generations, which makes the focus on healthy life an integrated and necessary national strategy.
