Financial Stress Keeps Singapore Awake, while Overall Well-Being in APAC Lags Behind Global Peers
Promotion of exercise culture and therapy may boost physical and mental health
The Singapore report of the Cigna Healthcare International Health Study 2025, released today encompasses more than 11,000 respondents across 13 markets, including 1,000 in Singapore and 4,000 across the Asia-Pacific region. The study reveals that physical, mental and financial well-being are the three aspects prioritized by Singapore residents. However, financial well-being is ranked the lowest with almost four in 10 (39%) rating their financial health as “fair” or “poor”.
Raymond Ng, CEO & Country Manager, Cigna Healthcare Singapore & Australia said: “Health and vitality are key to building resilient communities. It promises the well-being of our workforce and enables us to grow and prosper as a society. While vitality and well-being levels held firm among Singapore residents, more needs to be done in today’s uncertain environment to tackle stressors that can negatively impact their physical and mental well-being.”
The key indicators of vitality and well-being in Singapore are as follows:
| Vitality Score | Overall Well-Being
(% rating as “excellent” or “very good”)
|
Top Three Areas of Well-Being
(% rating as “excellent” or “very good” in 2025) |
| 2025: 61.2
2024: 61.4 |
2025: 34%
2024: 33% |
Family well-being: 44%
Mental well-being: 36% Physical well-being: 34% |
On a regional level, overall well-being in Asia Pacific lags behind the global average, with less than three in 10 (28%) Asia-Pacific respondents rating their overall well-being as “excellent” or “very good”, compared to four in 10 (41%) globally. While physical and mental well-being are the two most important aspects of well-being for respondents globally, financial well-being is more important for those in Asia Pacific, coming in as the third most important aspect. With financial well-being remaining the weakest aspect across the globe, there is a pressing need for governments and organizations to render support to address financial concerns.
Robert Peat, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific, Cigna Healthcare said: “Asia Pacific continues to be one of the fastest growing regions in the world. To sustain this momentum, communities and employers need to recognize that healthy people are the foundation of a healthy economy and implement measures to close the gaps in their well-being.”
Sleepless in Singapore: Financial stress as the sleep killer
While mental well-being in Singapore remains stable with more than a third of respondents rating it as “excellent” or “very good” this year, eight in 10 (79%) respondents are stressed. Their greatest stressors are the current cost of living (53%); uncertainty about the future (47%); and personal finance (43%).
Stress affects more than mental and emotional health and can have huge implications on physical well-being. Our study reveals that disrupted sleep is the most common effect of stress among respondents in the nation, with close to half (48%) of respondents who are stressed reporting this effect, compared to 38% regionally.
Therapy remains underused by Singapore respondents. Despite nearly half (49%) of respondents reporting being negatively impacted by poor mental health, nearly nine in 10 (89%) say they did not receive counselling or therapy in the past 12 months, with 77% believing they do not need it. Given the impacts of stress and poor mental health on physical and overall well-being, more efforts are needed to raise awareness about the benefits of therapy and destigmatize seeking help.
Exercise culture runs strong in Singapore
More than a quarter (26%) of respondents in Singapore rate their exercise habits as “excellent” or “very good”.
When asked how they manage their weight, two-thirds (66%) said they exercise regularly, higher than the Asia-Pacific average of 61%; with only 4% of Singapore respondents turning to medication for weight management. The findings underscore a relatively strong exercise culture and the prioritization of healthy habits among those living in the nation. Communities and organizations may leverage the growing fitness trend to enhance physical well-being.
Cautious optimism around AI in healthcare
Close to half (47%) of Singapore respondents are positive about the impact of AI on healthcare, with 45% expecting it will reduce wait times within three years. This could have an outsized impact in Singapore, as respondents here are 29% more likely to have delayed or avoided getting care due to concern with wait times than their regional counterparts.
Additionally, almost half of Singapore respondents (48%) mention a reduction in human interaction as an expected change with the advent of AI. The challenge ahead is striking the right balance between efficiency and empathy.
The full findings of the report are available here.

Luxury Hair Clinic Sheer Reprime Marks 8th Anniversary with a Flagship Expansion into Hong Kong’s Prestigious Wellington Street
Luxury hair and scalp rejuvenation pioneer Sheer Reprime invests nearly HK$10 million to deploy next-generation, FDA and CE-certified hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation technologies.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 June 2026 – Celebrating eight years of clinical excellence, premier hair and scalp rejuvenation brand Sheer Reprime today announced the grand opening of its ultra-luxury flagship center on Wellington Street, Central. Representing a strategic investment of nearly HKD10 million, the expansive facility positions Sheer Reprime at the epicenter of Hong Kong’s elite financial and cultural district. This expansion marks a new era of medical-grade, advanced hair restoration and scalp rejuvenation.
Located at 50 Wellington Street, adjacent to the iconic Yung Kee restaurant, the near-full-floor flagship features private treatment suites engineered for maximum comfort and discretion. The venue is optimized for busy and successful individuals, stars and celebrities seeking world-class clinical trichology with exceptional hospitality.
Bridging Follicle Biology and Biophotonics
Sheer Reprime’s expansion directly addresses a surging global market demand for scientifically backed hair-loss solutions, particularly as stress and lifestyle factors accelerate the onset of premature thinning among younger demographics.
“Our expansion into the heart of Central marks a watershed moment for Sheer Reprime,” said a Brand Spokesperson. “The modern consumer demands rigorous, evidence-based hair and scalp treatments. Sheer Reprime is built at the intersection of Follicle Biology and Biophotonics. Our multi-million-dollar investment into an advanced clinical instrumentation allows us to optimize the scalp microenvironment at a cellular level, far surpassing the limitations of older generation treatments.”
Internal clinical metrics validate the brand’s scientific approach. In a recent study tracking 100 urban professionals over a 12-week regimen of Sheer Reprime’s laser hair rejuvenation therapy, participants demonstrated an average increase of 22% in hair shaft thickness and an 18% increase in active follicular density.
Departing from standard industry practices focused merely on surface-level scalp cleansing, Sheer Reprime introduces its proprietary Connotation Therapy. This multi-modality framework combines technologies which have received FDA, Medical CE, and EU MDR (Medical Device Regulation) certifications. Amongst them SLD LLLT hair loss treatment, which delivers biophotonic laser energy 3–5mm beneath the scalp surface to revive the follicular base. Winback Tecar Therapy and 500kHZ cellular radio frequency, which utilizes deep thermal energy to enhance localized microcirculation across the head, neck, and shoulders, maximizing nutrient and oxygen delivery to the hair bulb while flushing out metabolic waste and DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
The launch of Sheer Reprime’s Wellington Street flagship redefines the luxury trichology landscape in Hong Kong, merging clinically proven regenerative technologies with an unparalleled bespoke experience.
