Analysis integrates income, health, and environmental factors impacting life expectancy in China, highlighting critical connections.

Key Points

The study aims to explore the determinants of life expectancy in China from 1990 to 2022 using Preston's Curve and the Social Determinants of Health framework.
Integrates Preston's income–health relationship with the SDH framework
Analyzes structural factors like income and health expenditure
Evaluates environmental factors such as CO2 emissions and natural resources
Employs ARDL long-run cointegration, FMOLS, and CCR estimators to assess relationships
Examines both long-run equilibrium links and short-run adjustment paths
Income, natural resources, and health expenditure positively influence life expectancy
CO2 emissions and mortality pressures have negative impacts on life expectancy
Findings confirm Preston Curve dynamics in China
Environmental degradation and institutional constraints alter the income-health gradient
Long-term longevity gains require coordinated economic and health sector improvements
