Premium editorial infographic showing the lifespan-versus-healthspan gap using Japan as the lead example. Two horizontal bars are stacked vertically: the top bar (amber gold) shows Japan's full life expectancy of 84 years; the bottom bar (teal) shows healthy life expectancy stopping approximately at age 75, with a grey zone labelled "chronic disease and dependency — approximately 9 years of high-cost care." Below, three country comparison rows show the US at 79 years (with a red marker noting the world's highest healthcare spending yet shorter life than Japan), South Korea at 84 years with a violet alarm noting its dependency ratio will rise from 26% now to 96% by 2060, and the global average at 73.4 years with a note on the 20-year gap to sub-Saharan Africa. Three bold callouts note: 6¼% of GDP fiscal pressure on OECD countries by 2060, 1 in 7 people will be 65+ by 2030, and the longevity economy reaching $5.4 trillion by 2034.
