Life Expectancy Averaged Dataset

This dataset provides aggregated life expectancy data averaged over multiple years for various countries, along with associated socio-economic and health-related factors. It aims to facilitate analysis of global health trends, the relationship between life expectancy and development indicators, and regional disparities.

Key Features

• Country & Region: Includes data from a diverse range of countries across continents, categorized by their respective regions.
• Life Expectancy: The average life expectancy in years for each country.
• Socio-economic Indicators:
  • GDP per capita
  • Schooling (average years of education)
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Economy status (developed or developing)
• Health Indicators:
  • Infant mortality
  • Adult mortality
  • HIV prevalence
  • Immunization rates (e.g., Hepatitis B, Polio)
  • Incidence of diseases like measles and diphtheria
  • BMI (Body Mass Index) data
  • Thinness prevalence among children and adolescents

Purpose of the Dataset

This dataset can be used for:

1. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Understand trends in life expectancy across different regions and economic statuses.
2. Data Visualization: Create meaningful plots (e.g., choropleth maps, scatter plots, pair plots) to analyze relationships between variables.
3. Machine Learning: Develop predictive models for life expectancy based on socio-economic and health factors.
4. Policy Research: Support policy-making by identifying key factors influencing life expectancy.

Inspiration

• What are the primary factors affecting life expectancy in different countries?
• How does life expectancy vary by region or economic development?
• Can we predict life expectancy using other health and economic indicators?
