National Population Health Survey (NPHS) 2024 Report

The National Population Health Survey (NPHS), conducted annually by the Ministry of Health and Health Promotion Board, tracks Singapore residents' health, risk factors, and lifestyle practices.

NPHS 2024

This survey has tracked the health, risk factors and lifestyle practices of Singapore residents aged 18 to 74 years from household interviews conducted from July 2023 to June 2024, and obesity and chronic disease prevalence measured as part of health examinations from July 2022 to August 2024.

The NPHS 2024 has found that Singapore residents are adopting healthier lifestyles, with total physical activity and health screening rates rising and returning to pre-COVID levels, prevalence of daily smoking continuing to decrease to an all-time low, and a significant improvement in influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates. The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension remains stable, while that for hyperlipidaemia has decreased over the years. That said, these chronic diseases remain a concern as prevalence rates are high, with about 1 in 3 Singapore residents continue to have hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. There is also a need to sustain efforts to address the significant increase in prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2). While mental health challenges remain most prevalent among younger adults aged 18 to 29 years, Singapore residents have shown greater willingness to seek help for mental health concerns

The results highlight the need for higher adoption of healthy lifestyle habits. MOH and HPB will continue efforts to support residents to take charge of their health and live healthy lifestyles.
