It only takes a little less than a thousand kilometers to live healthy for an additional 16 years. In fact, those born in the Province of Bolzano have a better chance of spending the majority of their old age free of chronic diseases, which are frequently disabling, as opposed to those who must spend that old age in Calabria, where the indicator of a healthy life at birth drops to 53.1 years, 16 years lower than South Tyrol. Among other factors, moving a little further reveals that Trento has a three-year longer life expectancy than Campania. Who is to blame? There are different variables: lifestyles that divide North and South surely have an impact: for example, sedentary lives range from 25.6% in Lombardy to 53.4% in Campania, 58.2% in Calabria, and 57.7% in Sicily. Investments in healthcare also reflect a country moving at various speeds: the North is far more efficient than the South.
