The relationship between the % of GDP spent on health care and life expectancy may be indirect or inverse.This is because the country with the smallest percent of GDP spent on health care has the greatest life expectancy in the world. This suggests that there may be other factors, such as lifestyle or genetics, that are more important in determining life expectancy than the amount of money spent on health care.
