GNI per capitahas a positive effect on GDP%GDP, CHE, GGHE, PHE in the high-income group and negatively affects the OOP (p <0.05), GNI per capita has a positive effect on CHE, GGHE in the above-average income group, GNI per capita has a positive effect on CHE, GGHE, GGHE%, PHE and negatively affects OOP (p <0.05) in the income group below average. GNI percapita has a positive effect on the OOP and negatively affects the CHE%GDP (p <0.05) in the low-income group.Conclusions: Each group of countries, depending on per capita income, has its own health care costs.
