2. Modeling of life expectancy in the countries of the world in 2011

Relationship of life expectancy at birth with gross national income per capita in the countries of the world – model 1 - is shown on the graph:

 

 

Model 1:

LE=15,6 + 6,1×Ln(GNI) (1)

R2=0,69

LE - Life expectancy at birth (years)

GNI - Gross national income per capita (PPP int. $)

 

Model 2:

LE=17,7 + 6,2×Ln(GNI) + 0,6×TEH – 0,3×AC – 0,1×PS (2)

R2=0,81

LE - Life expectancy at birth (years)

GNI - Gross national income per capita (PPP int. $)

TEH - Total expenditure on health as % of gross domestic product

AC- Alcohol consumption among adults aged ≥ 15 years (litres of pure alcohol per person per year)

PS - Prevalence of smoking any tobacco product among adult males aged ≥ 15 years (%)
