Our health has improved dramatically over the past century. If you had been born a male a hundred years ago, you would have had a life expectancy of only 44 years or slightly longer if female. Today the figures are 74 and 78 years respectively. Thanks to antibiotics and better hygiene, we no longer live in fear of infectious diseases. Not only have we discovered the importance of balanced diet, but we also have a better understanding of common diseases. Many of these improvements have been brought about by medical research. If we fall ill, the treatments are likely to be based on scientific principles. A hundred years ago, doctors must have relied on guesswork, habit and superstition. However, although we are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, few people enjoy perfect health, especially when they get older. Many of the benefits of medical research are costly, and take a long time to become available. If future research finds much more about what causes common diseases, we would be able to start looking after ourselves better and have not just longer lives but healthier and happier ones, too.
