Makroekonomik koşullar, çevresel riskler ve demografik değişimler halk sağlığının temel belirleyicileri arasında yer almaktadır. Ancak bu üç unsurun mortalite üzerindeki etkisini OECD ülkeleri özelinde birlikte inceleyen karşılaştırmalı çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kişi başına düşen GSYİH, PM2.5 maruziyeti ve yaşlı nüfus oranındaki değişimlerin yaşa ve cinsiyete göre ölüm sayıları üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmektir. Bu kapsamda, 14 OECD ülkesinin 2001–2020 dönemine ait verileri panel veri analiziyle incelenmiştir. Model seçiminde sabit etkiler yaklaşımı benimsenmiş, otokorelasyon, heteroskedastisite ve yatay kesit bağımlılığı sorunlarını gidermek amacıyla Driscoll–Kraay sağlam standart hataları kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, kişi başına düşen GSYİH ile PM2.5 maruziyetinin mortalite üzerinde pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşılık, yaşlı nüfus oranındaki değişim anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Sonuçlar, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ile halk sağlığı politikalarının birlikte ele alınmasının önemine işaret etmektedir.
