The x-axis shows GDP per capita in 2005 international dollars, the y-axis shows life expectancy at birth. Each dot represents a particular country. Data points of income per head and life-expectancy of individual countries. The Preston curve is an empirical cross-sectional relationship between life expectancy and real per capita income.
