About
This dataset offers a deep dive into global health and demographic indicators. Its main purpose is to help analysts unravel the patterns of life expectancy and understand the health trends of populations worldwide. It serves as a valuable resource for public health research and epidemiology, providing detailed insights into how various factors influence a nation's health journey.
Columns
- Country: Data from diverse nations across the globe.
- Year: The specific year for which the data is recorded, reflecting health trends over time.
- Status: Indicates a country's development status, categorised as "Developed" or "Developing".
- Life Expectancy: The average number of years a person is expected to live in a given country. This is the primary predictive target.
- Adult Mortality: The probability of death between the ages of 15 and 60, per 1,000 population.
- Infant Deaths: The number of deaths of infants per 1,000 live births.
- Alcohol: Average alcohol consumption in litres per capita.
- Percentage Expenditure: Health expenditure as a percentage of a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- Hepatitis B: Immunization coverage rate for Hepatitis B.
- Measles: Number of reported measles cases per 1,000 population.
- BMI: The average Body Mass Index for the population.
- Under-Five Deaths: The number of deaths of children under the age of five per 1,000 live births.
- Polio: Immunization coverage rate for Polio.
- Total Expenditure: Total health expenditure as a percentage of GDP.
- Diphtheria: Immunization coverage rate for Diphtheria.
- HIV/AIDS: Prevalence of HIV/AIDS as a percentage of the population.
- GDP: Gross Domestic Product data for a nation.
- Population: The total population of a nation.
- Thinness 1-19 Years: Prevalence of thinness among children and adolescents aged 1 to 19 years.
- Thinness 5-9 Years: Prevalence of thinness specifically among children aged 5 to 9 years.
- Income Composition of Resources: A composite index reflecting income distribution and access to resources.
- Schooling: Data on the average years of schooling within the population.
Distribution
This dataset is provided as a CSV file (Life_Expectancy_Data.csv), approximately 199.88 kB in size. It comprises 22 columns and contains 1,649 records (rows). The data structure is tabular, with each row representing a unique country-year observation.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Predicting life expectancy: Building regression models to forecast life expectancy for diverse countries and years.
- Identifying influential factors: Uncovering the key health and demographic indicators that significantly impact life expectancy.
- Health policy analysis: Assessing the impact of health expenditure, immunization coverage, and disease prevalence on life expectancy to inform policy decisions.
Coverage
The dataset spans a global geographic scope, including data from 133 distinct nations. The time range covers years from 2000 to 2015. Demographically, it differentiates between "Developed" (15% of records) and "Developing" (85% of records) countries and includes specific age-group data for mortality (adults, infants, under-fives) and thinness (1-19 years, 5-9 years).
