We just released the annual National Population Health Survey (NPHS) today and there are some encouraging signs:

🚭 prevalence of smoking, at 8.8%, has dropped to its lowest since the survey began

👟 proportion of residents engaging in sufficient total physical activity increased to almost 8 in 10 now

🫂 the state of mental health improved

💉 influenza and pneumococcal vaccination uptake improved

We will continue to build on this, and continue to strengthen our preventive health efforts through Healthier SG.

This includes measures to reduce sodium and saturated fat intake, in the same way that we reduced sugar intake, through labeling, and helping consumers make healthier choices.
