A fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of 131 countries: which configuration of the structural conditions can explain health better?

Abstract

We were able to configurationally explore the cases and specify the combinations of potentially causal conditions which were usually sufficient to explain high or low life expectancy in different countries. As a result, particular cases were identified for further research. In addition, research may provide support for the CSDH's recommendations emphasizing the importance of intersectoral action for health.
