한국인이 바라는 건강수명 80.5세...실제보다 7살 높아
It's been shown that Koreans are living longer these days,... but as for their years of good health, a new report shows they'd like more of them.

According to the World Health Organization, Koreans on average have a healthy lifespan of 73-point-2 years.

But a survey of a thousand people by health product brand Pharmanex... shows, on average, people would actually like to be physically and mentally healthy until the age of 80-and-a-half,... a difference of over seven years from the actual.

The survey also asked people how much money they'd be willing to pay to extend their healthy lifespan by one year,... and on average respondants said they'd give about 25-million won for an extra year of healthy living,... or about 21-thousand-300 U.S. dollars.

Men were willing to pay a bit more than women by about 24-hundred dollars.

And people in their 20s said they'd pay the most -- about 32-hundred dollars more than the average.
