Resumen
Descripción
An exploratory analysis based on 120 countnes indicates that more widely available general econonuc
development indicators can predict a large share of variations between countnes with respect to longevity (an
overaII indicator of nutritional and health state and of the share of the population that is malnourished) The
successful predictors include GNP per caput, calorie availability to requirements ratio, and the share of agncultural
population in total population. Those vanables explain 87 percent of the variation between cmmtnes with respect to
hfe eA-pectation at birth.
