| description | The objective of this article was to establish the relationship between health, measured by life expectancy at birth, and economic growth, represented by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, to estimate the Preston curve for Nicaragua, during the observed period of 1990-2023. This relationship was modeled using a logarithmic function, of the Lin-Log type, which revealed a positive but decreasing association between both variables. Two models were estimated, the first used the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at current prices as an independent variable, while the second model used the GDP per capita at constant 2015 prices. Both models showed statistical significance, however, the second model, which uses the GDP per capita at constant 2015 prices, showed a better fit to the data and greater precision in the predictions, being considered the most appropriate to represent the relationship between life expectancy and economic growth for Nicaragua. |

Curva de Preston: Esperanza de vida y crecimiento económico, análisis para Nicaragua. Brenes González, Humberto Antonio Curva de Preston esperanza de vida al nacer crecimiento económico PIB modelo de regresión logarítmico Preston curve life expectancy at birth economic growth GDP logarithmic egression model The objective of this article was to establish the relationship between health, measured by life expectancy at birth, and economic growth, represented by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, to estimate the Preston curve for Nicaragua, during the observed period of 1990-2023. This relationship was modeled using a logarithmic function, of the Lin-Log type, which revealed a positive but decreasing association between both variables. Two models were estimated, the first used the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at current prices as an independent variable, while the second model used the GDP per capita at constant 2015 prices.

El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo establecer la relación entre la salud, medida por la esperanza de vida al nacer, y el crecimiento económico, representado por el producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita, para estimar la curva de Preston para Nicaragua, durante el período observado de 1990-2023. Esta relación se modeló mediante una función logarítmica, de tipo Lin-Log, la cual reveló una asociación positiva pero decreciente entre ambas variables. Se estimaron dos modelos el primero empleó el producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita a precios corrientes como variable independiente, mientras que el segundo modelo utilizó el PIB per cápita a precios constantes de 2015. Ambos modelos mostraron significancia estadística, sin embargo, el segundo modelo, que utiliza el PIB per cápita a precios constantes de 2015, evidenció un mejor ajuste a los datos y mayor precisión en las predicciones, considerándose como el más apropiado para representar la relación entre esperanza de vida y crecimiento económico para Nicaragua.
