Social environment - demographics Italian population is quickly becoming older due to a very low birth rate and thanks to the longest life expectancy in Europe (83 years on avarage). Nevertheless, focusing on the quality of that long expected life span, we come at the bottom of this European league: 65 years old Italians can expect on average to live only another 7.5 years of life in good health. There are over 20 million Italians with a sedentary lifestyle, and more than 50% of those over 65 who do not practice any kind of physical activity [2].
