Recent events have made health and its preservation increasingly important. Health factors are also elements of our lifestyle, and the individual has a crucial role to play in shaping a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle-related diseases (civilisation diseases) are the leading cause of death in Europe today. The main topic of this paper is the mystery of expected and potential quality of life and life expectancy. Through a literature review, we sought to answer the question of what are the most important determinants of health and lifestyle. Based on the data processing of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, we processed the results of health statistics on the general health status of the Hungarian population. Then, we described the pillars of health and their role in the development of a healthy lifestyle, as well as health tourism services for the older generation that encourage the integration of the pillars of health into lifestyle.
