Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to examine the effect of social determinants of health on life expectancy.
Method
The retrospective descriptive study data consisted of the life expectancy and social determinants of health secondary data from the Organization for Eco¬nomic Co-operation and Development the Better Life Index database.
