Longer Life Should Mean Better Health
Viet Nam is undergoing one of the world’s fastest demographic transitions. By 2036, more than one in five people is expected to be aged 60 or older, while noncommunicable diseases already account for around 80% of deaths.
The opportunity is not simply to add years to life, but to help people maintain health, function, participation, and well-being for longer across the life course.
Healthy longevity therefore connects prevention and healthy living with healthcare, supportive environments, social connection, science and technology, and the wider systems that shape health over time.

Evidence & Insights
Making Healthy Longevity Knowledge More Accessible
We are building a trusted knowledge hub that brings together credible research, emerging evidence, global frameworks, and perspectives relevant to healthy longevity in Viet Nam.
Our approach emphasizes scientific rigor, responsible interpretation, and careful consideration of how international evidence may apply across different populations, cultures, and health systems.
Healthy longevity requires collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and borders.
We welcome engagement with universities, research institutions, healthcare organizations, professional bodies, community organizations, responsible industry, funders, and international networks interested in developing knowledge, strengthening capability, exploring research, or testing practical approaches in Viet Nam.
