Life Expectancy and Quality of Aging in Cyprus
January 19, 2026
Cyprus has a high life expectancy, but many people face health issues in their later years. About 40% of Cypriots reaching retirement live with serious limitations due to chronic diseases. The average life expectancy is 84-85 years for women and 81 years for men, but healthy life years are only 65.7 for women and 64.4 for men. Risk factors include poor diet and lack of exercise. Improving quality of life in old age is essential for the future.
