Global and regional impact of health determinants on life expectancy and health-adjusted life expectancy, 2000-2018: an econometric analysis based on the Global Burden of Disease study 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The health status of a population is influenced by multiple determinants, including clinical care, health behaviors, the physical environment, and socioeconomic factors. This study examines the impact of these determinants on life expectancy (LE) and health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) at both regional and global levels using econometric analysis.

Methods

This ecological study included all 194 WHO member countries from 2000 to 2018. The County Health Rankings Model was used to identify key health determinants. Thirty-six indicators were selected to measure these determinants, with data collected from the World Bank, World Health Observatory, Global Health Expenditure Database, Gapminder, United Nations Human Development Reports, and Global Burden of Disease Stu
