Abstract

The factors impacting life expectancy (LE) are important to a country as LE reflects the essential quality of its population. Previous studies showed that other than economic factors, health status and resources (HSR) and sociodemographic (SD) also affect LE. This area has not been previously studied in Bahrain, especially in the past five decades. Hence, this study aims to develop an explanatory model for HSR, macroeconomic (ME), and SD factors on LE in Bahrain. The research was a retrospective, time-series design that collected the annual published data on SD, ME, HSR, and LE in Bahrain's population from 1971 to 2020. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The result shows that ME (0.463, P < .001) and HSR (0.595, P < .001) have significant direct effects on LE. ME has an indirect effect (0.488, P < .001) on LE via SD and HSR, and SD has an indirect effect (0.496, P < .001) on LE through HSR. During the socioeconomic downturn, the health resources provision should not be reduced as it directly affects LE. An integrated policy addressing socioeconomic and health-related factors could protect the future of Bahrain's population health outcomes.

影响巴林人预期寿命的因素：从 1971 年到 2020 年数据中获得的证据。

影响预期寿命（LE）的因素对一个国家非常重要，因为预期寿命反映了人口的基本素质。以往的研究表明，除经济因素外，健康状况和资源（HSR）以及社会人口（SD）也会影响预期寿命。巴林此前尚未对这一领域进行过研究，尤其是在过去五十年中。因此，本研究旨在为巴林的健康状况与资源、宏观经济（ME）和社会人口（SD）因素对 LE 的影响建立一个解释模型。本研究采用回顾性时间序列设计，收集了 1971 年至 2020 年巴林人口中 SD、ME、HSR 和 LE 的年度公开数据。数据采用偏最小二乘法-结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）方法进行分析。结果表明，ME（0.463，P P P P P
