Objectives: The relationship between health care expenditures and health care outcomes, such as life
expectancy and mortality, is complex. Research outcomes show different and contradictory results on
this relationship. How and why health care expenditures affect health outcomes is not clear. A causal link
between the two is not proven. Without such knowledge, effects of increase/decrease in health care
expenses on health outcomes may be overestimated/underestimated. This study analyzes the relationship
between life expectancy at birth and expenditures on health care, taking into account expenditures
of social production and education, as well as the quantity and quality of health care provisions and
lifestyles.
Design: This is a cross-sectional study, analyzing national data of 31 European countries. First, the
bivariate correlation between the dependent variable and independent variables are calculated and
described. Next a forward linear regression analysis is applied.
Measurement: The data are derived from standardized, comparative data bases as available in the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Eurostat. Health care expenditures are
assessed as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Results: Health care expenditures are not the main determinant of life expectancy at birth, but social
protection expenditures are. The regression analysis shows that in countries that spend a high percentage
of their GDP on social protection, that have fewer curative beds and low infant mortality, whose
citizens report fewer unmet health care needs and drink less alcohol, citizens have a significant longer
life expectancy.
Conclusion: To realize high life expectancy of citizens, policy measures have to be directed on investment
in social protection expenditures, on improving quality of care, and on promoting a healthy life style.
