Healthy life expectancy in the EU, Malta leads. Denmark and Latvia, last in the

When it comes to a long and healthy life, Malta is the best country in the European Union, according to new data from Eurostat.

With Europeans living longer than ever and the population aging rapidly, quality of life in old age is a key concern. Healthy life expectancy measures the number of years the average person will live without limiting abilities or physical problems in their daily life.

According to the latest analysis, Malta topped the rankings for both men and women. Women in Malta can expect 70.3 years of healthy life, while men can expect 70.1 such years. The island nation boasts almost universal health coverage and older adults are less likely to have chronic diseases than in other EU countries.

For women, the next best countries for healthy life are Bulgaria (68.9 years), Slovenia (68.5), Italy (67.8) and Greece (67.8). Meanwhile, Sweden (67.5), Italy (67.1), Greece (66.2), Cyprus (65.7) and Ireland (65.2) round out the men's top five.

At the other end of the spectrum, Denmark is the worst country for women hoping to age healthily. While the Nordic country has a strong public health system, cancer rates are higher than in other EU countries.

According to statistics, in eight countries people should not expect to be healthy in their 60s: Latvia, Denmark, Slovakia, Finland, the Netherlands, Romania, Portugal and Estonia.

Women tend to live longer than men, and on average across the EU, they can have 62.8 years of healthy life compared to 62.4 years for men.
