Income Inequality and Social Dysfunction (2009, background): “Life expectancy rises rapidly as poor countries begin to develop but then gradually flattens out until, among the richest countries, it seems unaffected by further economic growth (Preston 1975, World Bank 1993).”
Economic Inequality and Its Socioeconomic Impact (2002, background): “(a) The effect of income inequality on health: empirical evidence Preston (1975) attempts to characterize the crosscountry relationship between life-expectancy and income per head.”
The Trouble with the MDGS: Confronting Expectations of Aid and Development Success (2007, background): “These advances have occurred even in the poorest countries (Kenny, 2005; Preston, 1975).”
Implications of population ageing for economic growth (2010, background): “Increased life expectancy has historically been strongly associated with increased per capita income (Preston, 1975).”
When Does Economic Growth Improve Life Satisfaction? Multilevel Analysis of the Roles of Social Trust and Income Inequality in 46 Countries, 1981–2012 (2017, background): “” In 1975, Preston provided the first evidence of a curvilinear relationship between national income per capita (in 1963 USD) and the level of life expectancy in the 1900s, 1930s, and 1960s (Preston, 1975).”
Is income inequality a determinant of population health? Part 1. A systematic review. (2004, result): “…variation in average levels of health among affluent nations that first led to the reasoning that if it was not average income, then perhaps it was the distribution of income within these countries that helped explain why some countries had better levels of health than did others (Preston 1975).”
The Global Demography of Aging: Facts, Explanations, Future (2016, positive): “First is the improvement in living standards as a byproduct of economic development as reflected in measures such as higher caloric intake and better access to health care and medicine (Fogel, 1997; Preston, 1975).”
Income inequality and health: a causal review. (2015, background): “In rich countries there is no association between average levels of income (e.g. gross national income per capita) and measures of health, such as life expectancy (Cutler et al., 2006; Kenny, 2011; Preston, 2007; Wilkinson and Pickett, 2010a).”
Reassessing the Effect of Economic Growth on Well-being in Less-developed Countries, 1980–2003 (2007, background): “Demographers have identified other salient causes of population health , and never considered growth the only cause or even a correlate that could account for the majority of the variation ( Preston 1975b ) .”
Health, Inequality, and Economic Development (2003, background): “Any introduction to the topic of health and economic development is likely to begin with the celebrated Preston curve, Preston (1975), which shows the cross-country relationship between life-expectancy and income per head.”
Health Expenditures and Health Outcomes in Africa (2009, background): “Numerous studies (especially those using micro-data) show a close association between child mortality and socio-economic status (for example, Preston, 1975, 1985; Hobcraft et al., 1984; Hill, 1985; World Bank, 1993).”
Why Are We Worried About Income? Nearly Everything that Matters is Converging (2005, neutral): “Preston (1975) estimates that income could only account for perhaps 10–25% of the growth in life expectancy in the world as a whole between the 1930s and the 1960s.”
