Foreign data reveals that economic growth does not necessarily entail expected improvements to health.The relationship between the two can in fact even be inverse.In other words,with economic growth,the level of health does not rise,but in fact drops.However,conclusions are dependent on research subjects,periods,and also location and diseases.According to Chinese statistical analysis,despite bringing higher levels of health in the long run,in the early phases,economic growth has the potential to lead to drops in levels of health.This leads to a delayed effect on health along with economic development,including a direct mechanism,and an indirect mechanism.Changes to the type of economic growth,societal environment,and life style can all be influencing factors.There is not currently,however,enough research to clearly prove economic growth can influence levels of health,and it is likewise not possible to systematically describe the influence mechanisms.China is currently experiencing an economic transformation,as well as epidemiology transition that are helping to ensure economic growth and the health promotion.It is hoped that mathematical models can be established,data can be collected,and an in-depth investigation of the influence economic growth has on levels of health can be conducted that would be helpful in the development of both of these areas.%国外数据表明,经济增长未必会如预期那样同步改善健康,二者关系甚至可能反转,即随着经济增长,健康水平不升反降.但具体结论受到研究对象、研究时点和区域以及研究病种的影响.针对我国数据的分析也表明,尽管长期来看,经济增长能够促进健康水平的改善,但初期经济增长可能引起健康水平的下降.导致健康滞后于经济增长的机制包括直接机制和间接机制.经济增长方式、社会环境以及生活方式的变化都可能是背后的原因.不过,现有的研究还不能明确经济增长影响健康的水平,也不能系统解释影响机制.我国正在经历经济结构转型和流行病学的转变,保证经济增长、推动居民健康关系国计民生.有待于构建数理模型,搜集数据,深入研究经济增长对健康的影响水平和方式,促进二者的协调发展.
