This document discusses the relationship between health and economic development. It begins with definitions of health and economic development from WHO and UN sources. It then examines factors that determine health and economic development according to WHO. Several studies are summarized that show the bidirectional relationship between improvements in health outcomes and economic growth. Preston's 1975 analysis found a curvilinear association between income and life expectancy. Barro's 1997 analysis projected that a 10% increase in life expectancy could lead to a 0.4% rise in economic growth. Bloom and Canning's 2000 study analyzed how better health impacts productivity, education, investment and demographics to stimulate economic development. The document concludes by considering whether healthier populations or greater wealth leads to improvements in the other.

17. PRESTON (1975) FINDINGS
A CURVILINEAR ASSOCIATION - THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
ECONOMIC GROWTH (NATIONAL INCOME PER HEAD) AND HEALTH
(LIFE EXPECTANCY) IN THE 1930S AND IN THE 1960S.
CORRELATION COEFFICIENT - BETWEEN THE LOGARITHM OF
NATIONAL INCOME AND LIFE EXPECTANCY.
IN 1930S - 0.885 &
IN 1960S - O.880.
DEATON (2003) UPDATED THE PRESTON CURVE IN 2000.

18. BARRO (1997) FINDINGS
AN AMERICAN MACRO
ECONOMIST BARRO PROJECTED
THAT A 10% JUMP IN LIFE
EXPECTANCY LEADS TO A 0.4%
INCREASE IN ECONOMIC GROWTH
AND MANY STUDIES TOO
CONFIRMED THE SAME.

19. BLOOM & MALANEV’S STUDIES (1998)
WHILE EXAMINING 78 COUNTRIES DURING
THE PERIOD 1965-1990, BLOOM & MALANEV
SUGGESTED THAT THE MORTALITY CRISIS,
WHICH OCCURRED IN RUSSIA IN THE FIRST HALF
OF 1990’S LED TO A FALL IN LIFE EXPECTANCY
FROM 70 TO 65 CONSEQUENTLY LOWERED THE
COUNTRIES GDP BY AN ESTIMATED 1.8 TO 2.7%

21. BLOOM & CANNING FINDINGS (2000)
FINDINGS.
INDIVIDUALS WITH GREATER HEALTH NOT
ONLY HAVE LESS SICK DAYS, BUT ARE ALSO
MORE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY PREPARED
FOR WORK.
INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE LONGER HAVE A
GREATER INCENTIVE TO INVEST IN EDUCATION
AND ACQUIRE HIGHER RETURN ON SUCH
INVESTMENTS.

22. BLOOM & CANNING FINDINGS (2000)
FINDINGS.
THE LEVEL OF SAVINGS INCREASES AS THE
INDIVIDUAL’S LIFE EXPECTANCY RISES, HENCE
STIMULATING INVESTMENT.
BETTER HEALTH IN THE FORM OF HIGHER LIFE
EXPECTANCY AND IMPROVED CHILD HEALTH MAY
LEAD TO A DECREASE IN THE IMPREGNATION
RATE, HENCE ADULTS PARTICIPATE MORE
EXTENSIVELY IN THE LABOUR MARKET,
ALLOWING THEM TO OBTAIN HIGHER INCOME
PER CAPITA.
