Reasons for the increase in life expectancy
Demographer Samuel P. Ralston believes that there is a strong correlation between economic income and life expectancy per capita. This discovery is called "Preston Curve". In recent years, China's economy has achieved rapid growth, citizens' economic income and living standards have been significantly improved, people's material life has been greatly improved, and the average life expectancy has also increased.
In addition, public health is the cornerstone of national health. China insists on prevention first, continuously increases public health investment, effectively controls health risk factors, eliminates a large number of major diseases, and effectively improves citizens' health level. For example, in order to prevent infectious diseases, China has included 14 vaccines in the national immunization plan, which can prevent 15 infectious diseases.
