摘要

The production function theory helps to explain the association between health input from the standpoint of a series of utilization variables including lifestyle, socioeconomics, environmental, and change in individual’s health status. The production function means all the sustainable health outputs emerging from all the combinations of inputs including the variables that change the health status of an individual, and have an effect on health care expenditure. For better understanding of the factors that contribute to health, the production function approach helps to analyze each level of health inputs and the quantity of health outputs. Furthermore, the production function concept helps in the analysis of expenditure on medical care utility and its relevance in reducing mortality and morbidity. Despite continuous and steady increase in expenditure on medical care utility over last two decades, there is a small or slow improvement in population health outcome indicators including life-expectancy, mortality, and morbidity. Alternative inputs to health could be through lifestyle factors including increased exercise, diet, and education to reduce negative health outcomes that helps to lower expenditure on medical care utility.
