Abstract
With the improvement of living standards, people are increasingly concerned about life expectancy at birth as an indicator of health status. In this article, we selected data from Japan, anchored the analysis of cases, and estimated the health production function, and then revealed the relationship between various factors and life expectancy at birth.
