A Wellbeing Revolution

How the UAE evolved into a leading physical health destination.

The UAE is now amongst the fittest countries in the world after a national exercise routine over the past five years that has delivered a dramatic fitness transformation for citizens and residents alike. People living in the Emirates are scoring above the global average in the physical wellbeing index.

The data, captured by this year’s Cigna Wellbeing 360 Survey, showing that the Emirates are well above the global average in the global health insurance provider’s ‘Physical Wellbeing index’ has been released as Dubai’s population begins the 2022 edition of the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC). An initiative of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, the DFC aims to make Dubai an even happier, healthier, and more liveable city.

Our findings include the following highlights:

  • UAE’s Physical Wellbeing Index progresses compared to the UK, Spain, USA, China, Australia and the global average
  • Increasing investments in fitness ($1.08 billion)
  • Breaking down the numbers by generation, gender and employment
  • A new emphasis on whole health
  • How employers in the UAE are getting involved
