The life expectancy of people in Serbia more than thirty years ago was 72.2 years, while this figure is higher today; according to data from 2021, the life expectancy of citizens of Serbia is now 76 years of age. This indicates that people’s health is getting better, however, we are still nowhere close to the nations in the region. For example, life expectancy of Slovenians is 81-82, and Croats 79-80. “The richer the country, the better the health, the better the systems, the people are more educated, they eat better … The fact is that when you adopt some standards, you live better, these are exact data”, says Dr Maja Vučković-Krčmar, from the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia. The doctor was one of the speakers on the panel “Live to be one hundred years old – healthy life in Serbia and the EU”, with dr Dušan Vešović, professor and author of the book “Health Formula”, as well as Pavle Zelić, Master of Pharmacy, from the Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices of Serbia (ALIMS). The panel “Live to be hundred years old”, organized by the EU Info Network on the occasion of the World Health Day, can be viewed on the YouTube channel of the EU in Serbia, and here are some other tips for a healthy life given by the experts.
