DETERMINANTE ZDRAVSTVENOG STATUSA POPULACIJE U ZEMLJAMA EUROPSKE UNIJE: DINAMIČKI PANEL MODELI

DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH STATUS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES: DYNAMIC PANEL MODELS

University of Dubrovnik 2025

Ovaj rad istražuje utjecaj socioekonomskih varijabli, karakteristika zdravstvenog sustava, stanja okoliša i životnog stila na zdravstveni status populacije u zemljama Europske unije primjenom dinamičkih panel modela. Rezultati su potvrdili važnost, prethodno navedenih skupina varijabli. BDP po glavi stanovnika, privatna zdravstvena potrošnja, nezaposlenost, korištenje uslugama pitke vode, konzumacija alkohola i pušenje statistički su značajni i očekivanog predznaka. Udio visokoobrazovane radne snage u ukupnoj radnoj snazi, potrošnja za zdravstvo po stanovniku, javna zdravstvena potrošnja i emisija CO2 imaju statistički značajan utjecaj, ali im je predznak suprotan očekivanom. Negativan utjecaj javne zdravstvene potrošnje ukazuje na potrebu provođenja ekonomskih evaluacija pri donošenju odluka, uz provođenje mikroekonomskih reformi na strani ponude s ciljem povećanja učinkovitosti. S druge, pak, strane, značajan utjecaj konzumacije alkohola i pušenja zahtjeva multidisciplinarni pristup u promoviranju i poticanju zdravih životnih navika s naglaskom na jačanje primarne zdravstvene zaštite.
This paper examines the influence of socioeconomic variables, health system characteristics, environmental conditions and lifestyle on health status in the European Union countries using dynamic panel data models. The results confirm the importance of all groups of variables. GDP per capita, private health expenditure, unemployment, use of drinking water services, alcohol consumption and smoking are statistically significant and have the expected sign. The share of highly skilled labor force in the total labor force, per capita health expenditure, public health expenditure and CO2 emissions have statistically significant effects, but their sign is unexpected. The negative impact of public health expenditure indicates the need for economic evaluations in decision-making, along with microeconomic supply-side reforms to increase efficiency. On the other hand, the significant impact of alcohol consumption and smoking requires a multidisciplinary approach to promote and support healthy lifestyles with a focus on strengthening primary health care.
