During the past decades a widening of relative gap in death rates between upper and lower socioeconomic groups has been reported for several European countries. Although differential mortality decline cardiovascular diseases suggested as an important contributory factor, it is not known what its quantitative contribution was, to extent other causes have contributed total mortality.We collected data on by educational level occupational class among men women from national longitudinal studies...
Background Few studies have compared socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of both fatal and non-fatal diseases. This paper aims to give first international overview for several common chronic
Objective: The influence of postprandial blood glucose on diabetes complications is intensively debated. We aimed to evaluate the predictive role both fasting and cardiovascular events in type 2 gender.
Objective: To examine whether trends in smoking behaviour Western Europe between 1985 and 2000 differed by education group. Design: Data of level were obtained from national cross sectional surveys conducted (a period characterised intense tobacco control policies) analysed for countries combined each country separately. Annual prevalence the quantity cigarettes consumed smokers summarised level. Education inequalities examined at four time points. Setting: nine European countries: Norway,...
To determine whether government efforts in reducing inequalities health European countries have actually made a difference to mortality by socioeconomic group.Register based study.Mortality data level of education and occupational class the period 1990-2010, usually collected census linked longitudinal study design. We compared changes between lowest highest groups, calculated their effect on absolute relative (measured as rate differences ratios, respectively).All for which were available...
Background Over the last decades of 20th century, a widening gap in death rates between upper and lower socioeconomic groups has been reported for many European countries. For most countries, it is unknown whether this continued into first decade 21st century. Methods We collected harmonised data on mortality by educational level among men women aged 30–74 years all countries with available data: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England Wales, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy,...
This study compared differences in total and cause-specific mortality by educational level among women with those men 7 countries: the United States, Finland, Norway, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Estonia.National data were obtained for period ca. 1980 to 1990. Age-adjusted rate ratios comparing a broad lower-educational group upper-educational calculated Poisson regression analysis.Total ranged from 1.09 Republic 1.31 States Estonia. Higher rates lower-educated found most causes of death,...
Background Social factors have been shown to be predictors of suicide. It is not known whether these vary between countries. Aims To present a first European overview socio-economic inequalities in suicide mortality among men and women. Method We used prospective follow-up censuses matched with vital statistics ten populations. Directly standardised rates were computed for each country. Results In men, low level educational attainment was risk factor eight out often Suicide smaller less...
<b>Objective:</b> To assess the association between socioeconomic status and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality in 10 western European populations during 1990s. <b>Design:</b> Longitudinal study. <b>Setting:</b> (95 009 822 person years). <b>Methods:</b> data on IHD by educational level were obtained from registries Finland, Norway, Denmark, England/Wales, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Turin (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Madrid (Spain). Age standardised rates rate ratios (RRs) of...
Mental health (MH) has a relevant burden on the of populations. Common MH disorders (anxiety and non-psychotic depression) are well associated to socioeconomic individual neighborhood characteristics, but little is known about influence urban structure. We analyzed among Turin (Northwest Italy) population association at area level different structure characteristics (density, accessibility by public transport, services, green spaces) consumption antidepressants. Estimates were adjusted...
<h3>Abstract</h3> <h3>Objective</h3> To assess the association of low socioeconomic status and risk factors for non-communicable diseases (diabetes, high alcohol intake, blood pressure, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking) with loss functioning at older ages. <h3>Design</h3> Multi-cohort population based study. <h3>Setting</h3> 37 cohort studies from 24 countries in Europe, United States, Latin America, Africa, Asia, 1990-2017. <h3>Participants</h3> 109 107 men women aged 45-90 years....
Abstract Background Standardized mortality surveillance data, capable of detecting variations in total at population level and not only among the infected, provide an unbiased insight into impact epidemics, like COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease). We analysed temporal trend excess deaths positive cases SARS-CoV-2 by geographical area (north centre-south), age sex, taking account deficit previous months. Methods Data from Italian rapid system was used to quantify during epidemic, estimate months...
Little is known about the effectiveness of health care in reducing inequalities health. We assessed trends mortality from conditions amenable to seventeen European countries period 1980-2010 and used models that included country fixed effects study determinants these trends. Our findings show remarkable declines over among people with a low level education. also found stable absolute time between high levels education, but widening relative inequalities. Higher expenditure was associated...
Frailty is one of the most critical age-related conditions in older adults. It often recognized as a syndrome physiological decline late life, characterized by marked vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. A clear operational definition frailty, however, has not been agreed so far. There wide range studies on detection frailty and their association with mortality. Several these have focused possible risk factors associated elderly population while predicting who will be at increased still...
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality are a challenge for public health around the world, but appear to be resistant policy-making. We aimed identify European countries which have been more successful than others narrowing mortality, and factors associated with inequalities. collected harmonised data by educational level 15 over last 25 years, quantified changes using range of measures capturing different perspectives on inequality (e.g., 'relative' 'absolute' inequalities, 'attainment'...
Today the most substantial threats facing cities relate to impacts of climate change. Extreme temperature such as heat waves and occurrence Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomena, present main challenges for urban planning design. Climate deterioration exacerbates already existing weaknesses in social systems, which have been created by changes population increases sprawl. Despite numerous attempts researchers assess risks associated with heat-health nexus areas, no common metrics yet defined...
Twelve countries were compared with respect to occupational class differences in ischemic heart disease mortality order identify factors that are associated smaller or larger differences.Data on by among men aged 30 64 years obtained from national longitudinal cross-sectional studies for the 1980s. A common scheme was applied most countries. Potential effects of main data problems evaluated quantitatively.A north-south contrast existed within Europe. In England and Wales, Ireland, Nordic...
This study evaluates the impact of 2003 heat wave on cause-specific mortality and role demographic characteristics socioeconomic conditions that may have increased risk in four Italian cities: Bologna, Milan, Rome Turin. Daily counts, for resident population by age, sex cause death were considered. excess was calculated as difference between number deaths observed smoothed average. The health is measured terms maximum apparent temperature. greatest north west Italy (Turin, +23% +23%). old...
<h3>Background</h3> The magnitude of educational inequalities in mortality avoidable by medical care 16 European populations was compared, and the contribution to life expectancy Europe determined. <h3>Methods</h3> Mortality data were obtained for people aged 30–64 years. For each country, association between level education measured with use regression-based inequality indexes. Life table analysis used calculate causes death lower higher educated groups. <h3>Results</h3> Educational present...
