According to recent studies, the difference in life expectancy -the gap-between eastern and western countries of the European Union (EU) grows continuously. We have analyzed data on life expectancy and household expenditure, corrected by price level indices, in the countries of the EU. We have found that eastern European countries have less total health expenditure, but expenditures on tobacco and alcohol dominate. We propose a new strategy for closing the gap, by promoting health care spending, public and private investments in life extension, and radical life extension research in the eastern countries of the EU.
根据最近的研究，欧盟（EU）东部和西部国家之间的预期寿命差距（即差异）在不断扩大。我们分析了欧盟国家按物价水平指数调整后的预期寿命和家庭支出数据。我们发现东欧国家的总医疗支出较少，但在烟草和酒精上的支出占主导地位。我们提出了一个新的策略来缩小差距，即在欧盟东部国家推动医疗保健支出、公共和私人对寿命延长的投资，以及激进的寿命延长研究。
