〔記者吳欣婷/台北報導〕南山人壽今公布「2026年永續健康白皮書」。受訪者逾40%認為醫療及長照準備金至少要600萬元以上,甚至有18.3%認為要超過1000萬元,平均認為需要準備682萬元的醫療與長照基金。
衛福部公布的國人前10大死因,三高問題造成的慢性病,即心臟疾病、腦血管疾病、糖尿病、高血壓性疾病、腎炎與腎病變等,從2024年開始,已連續兩年,每年共奪走超過6萬名國人的生命,超過癌症造成的死亡人數,且近10年來,三高相關的慢性病已造成超過57萬名國人喪生,2024年健保給付三高相關疾病的點數亦接近1700億點。
國健署2025年公布的「健康促進統計年報」,亦揭露18歲以上國人的高血壓、高血糖與高血脂盛行率已拉高到30%、13%與31%,再創下新高。政府在2022年開始推動「代謝症候群防治計畫」,針對三高和二害(腰圍過粗、好的膽固醇不足),5項危險因子中若出現3項以上,即是罹患代謝症候群。
南山人壽董事長尹崇堯認為「上工治未病」,應提早找出造成國人代謝症候群的原因,盡最大可能維持健康代謝,才能避免衍生為慢性病或重大疾病。南山人壽與工研院透過訪談、研究分析與問卷調查,了解主要國家如何因應盛行率不斷提高的代謝症候群,如何透過改善國民代謝問題,來降低政府財政與醫療支出等趨勢。
問卷中亦調查國人最擔心的三大疾病,有64.15%受訪者擔心罹患癌症,占率排名第一,占率第二名是失智症,有55.31%,第三名則是心血管疾病,占55.05%,與2025年調查排名相同。
良好的健康需要無憂的財務健康力支撐,整體受訪者逾40%認為醫療及長照準備金至少要600萬元以上,甚至有18.3%認為要超過1000萬元,平均認為需要準備682萬元的醫療與長照基金。有39.3%的受訪者已準備超過300萬元,但超過千萬者只占5.9%,整體平均準備337萬元,等於缺口仍有345萬元。
已開始準備醫療及長照準備金的受訪者中,70.3%是用保險規劃,49%採用股票基金投資,35.3%是銀行存款;但也有11.8%完全未開始準備。
「2026年永續健康白皮書」中,專家學者亦提出財務健康力的建議:像是及早經營「財務生命」,可用定期定額強迫儲蓄等方式,先逐步建立資產底氣;國人平均8到9年的不健康餘命,若財務許可,可考慮準備1000萬元的長照基金,在照護費用上,每月至少用3萬元估算;三是保險規劃先以定期險打底,再用終身險延長保障,先自益再他益,四是重大疾病保障建議拉到100萬元,以因應新式醫療與新藥的自費部分。
