Economy and health are inseparably linked, and life expectancy at birth is a measure of the overall health of the nation. Life expectancy is high in well developed countries where as low-income nations do not have the resources to maintain good health. People live in poor nations have less information and are less able to access to healthcare. A low-income nation mainly suffers from poor quality food, bad water and less medical personnel. Some modern life health issues are seen in high income countries, like drug use, eating disorders and obesity. There are economic inequalities in health between the rich and poor even in the wealthiest countries.
