QUALITY LIFE WITHIN REACH
Joe Arun, SJ
April 2022
We can do better
Humanity mobilized against COVID-19 at a speed and scale previously unseen.
We can do better
A Goal
Humanity needs a goal that yields more time with loved ones, more accomplishments, and more time free from cognitive or physical impairment.
Extra years of H - quality
The McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) believes that over the next decade humanity could add as many as 45 billion extra years of higher-quality life—roughly six years per person on average, and substantially more in some countries and populations.
An important role to play
An important role to play
Achieving this objective requires us, as a society, to challenge our beliefs about health and reorient material portions of public policy and the economy.

Every institution, every leader, and every person has an important role to play.
The Roles
The role

1. The state of human health:
Great achievement with much more to do

Year after year, experts cite social and physical components of health as two of the top three drivers of life satisfaction for individuals
Life expectancy doubled, but
Life exp. doubled
Between 1800 and 2017, average global life expectancy more than doubled, from 30 years to 73 years, but, the share of our lives we spend in poor health has not diminished over time.
Poor health
Poor health
We spend more time in absolute terms in moderate and poor health than we have at any other point in history.
Reduces life satisfaction
Literature on life satisfaction shows that having a substantial health problem—defined as declining from “good health” to “poor health”—reduces life satisfaction twice as much as losing a job or becoming widowed, divorced, or separated and five times as much as losing half of one’s income.
Women's mental health
Globally, women’s mental and emotional health is at its lowest in 15 years and significantly below the overall population average.

Humanity has the wealth, technology, capacity, and know-how to set and pursue a bolder aspiration for our health.
MHI - Eliminate global disease
Eliminate global disease
McKinsey Global Institute in 2020 concluded that by applying existing and close-to-market interventions, we could eliminate about 40 percent of the current global disease burden by 2040
3. The foundation: Embracing a modernized understanding of health

Historically, society has defined health in terms of the presence or absence of disease.
WHO - Health
WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed just such a broad definition of health, with a greater emphasis on well-being, back in 1948: health is a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Aspects of Health
Physical health is the extent to which an individual can competently perform physical tasks and activities without substantial discomfort.
Aspects of Health
Mental health is an individual’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional state of being.
Social health represents an individual’s ability to build healthy, nurturing, genuine, and supportive relationships.
Spiritual health enables people to integrate meaning in their lives.
Influencing Factors
Personal attributes - genetics, education, and relationships
Personal behaviors - individual actions such as sleep, diet, exercise, and adherence to treatment regimens
Influencing Factors
Environmental attributes - political and economic system
Interventions - clinical interventions, financial support, or incentives

A top Strategic Priority
Health is deeply relevant to every business in the world, at minimum because employers affect the health of their employees, and the health of employees affects their performance.
60% of companies say employee well-being and mental health is a top strategic priority.
