Cover Story: Multiple studies, starting with Preston’s work in 1975, have suggested that gross domestic product per capita (GDPPC) is an important explanatory factor for understanding differentials in life expectancy at birth in countries around the world. This proposition was tested here using cross-sectional regression across 150 countries and 16 socioeconomic factors, including GDPPC. The best-performing regression equations in the periods around 2000 and 2015 included four to six of these socioeconomic factors but did not include GDPPC. The results were examined in greater detail for the world’s 15 most populous countries. The fact that GDPPC drops out of the best equations calls into question the view that economic growth is the correct primary target for nations seeking to increase their average life expectancy. View this paper
