Borrell, Carme; Palència, Laia; Marí-Dell'Olmo, Marc; Morrisson, Joana; Deboosere, Patrick; Gotsens, Mercè; Dzúrová, Dagmar; Costa, ClaudiaBackground: Few studies have assessed the impact of the financial crisis on inequalities in suicide mortality in European urban areas. The objective of the study was to analyse the trend in area socioeconomic inequalities in suicide mortality in nine European urban areas before and after the beginning of the financial crisis. Methods: This ecological study of trends was based on three periods, two before the ec...
Cold-related mortality in three European metropolitan areas: Athens, Lisbon and...
Almendra, Ricardo Jorge Meireles; Rodrigues, Ana Paula Santana; Mitsakou, Christina; Heaviside, Clare; Samoli, Evangelia; Rodopoulou, SophiaThe aim of this study is to estimate the mortality burden attributable to low temperature in Athens, Lisbon and London from 2002 to 2011 and to discuss related inequalities in socioeconomic conditions. We address a lack of quantitative estimates of cold-related mortality, particularly for the cities of Lisbon and Athens. To estimate the mortality burden attributable to low temperature, time-series regression an...
Evaluation of data availability on population health indicators at the regional...
Costa, Cláudia Margarida Pereira da; Freitas, Ângela Mendes; Stefanik, Iwona; Krafft, Thomas; Pilot, Eva; Morrison, Joana; Rodrigues, Ana Paula SantanaBackground: The ability to measure regional health inequalities across Europe and to build adequate population health indices depends significantly on the availability of reliable and comparable data at the regional level. Within the scope of the EU-funded project EURO-HEALTHY, a Population Health Index (PHI) was built. This model aggregates 39 indicators considered relevant by experts and stakeholders to evalu...
Variáveis meteorológicas e poluição do ar e sua associação com internações resp...
Moraes, Sara Lopes de; Almendra, Ricardo Jorge Meireles; Rodrigues, Ana Paula Santana; Galvani, EmersonAs transformações no clima urbano das cidades, a excessiva poluição atmosférica e o aumento das desigualdades sociais tornaram-se fatores determinantes do alto risco de internações por doenças respiratórias. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender como os atributos meteorológicos (temperatura do ar, umidade relativa do ar e precipitação) e a poluição do ar (material particulado com diâmetro aerod...
The Role of Individual and Neighborhood Characteristics on Mental Health after ...
Loureiro, Adriana Sofia da Silva; Rodrigues, Ana Paula Santana; Nunes, Carla; Almendra, Ricardo Jorge MeirelesMental health is an intrinsic dimension of health influenced by individual and contextual factors. This cross-sectional study analyzes the association between the individual, neighborhood characteristics, and one's self-assessed mental health status in the Lisbon region after an economic crisis. Via the application of multilevel regression models, the study assesses the link between one's neighborhood environme...
Scenarios for population health inequalities in 2030 in Europe: the EURO-HEALTH...
Alvarenga, António; Costa, Carlos A. Bana e; Borrell, Carme; Ferreira, Pedro Lopes; Freitas, Ângela Mendes; Freitas, Liliana; Oliveira, Mónica D.Background: Health inequalities have been consistently reported across and within European countries and continue to pose major challenges to policy-making. The development of scenarios regarding what could affect population health (PH) inequalities across Europe in the future is considered critical. Scenarios can help policy-makers prepare and better cope with fast evolving challenges. Objective: This paper de...
Health Disparities in Czechia and Portugal at Country and Municipality Levels
Lustigova, Michala; Dzúrová, Dagmar; Costa, Cláudia Margarida Pereira da; Rodrigues, Ana Paula SantanaThis article investigates the health outcomes and determinants between two different European populations, Portuguese and Czech, on two hierarchical levels: country and metropolitan area. At first, the decomposition method of age and cause of death were compared on the country level, and then health was examined based on a factor analysis at the municipality level of Prague and Lisbon. The results clearly indic...
Excess winter mortality and morbidity before, during, and after the Great Reces...
Almendra, Ricardo Jorge Meireles; Perelman, Julian; Vasconcelos, João; Rodrigues, Ana Paula SantanaAlthough winter mortality and morbidity are phenomena common to most European countries, their magnitude varies significantly from country to country. The geographical disparities among regions with similar climates are the result of several social, economic, demographic, and biological conditions that influence an individual's vulnerability to winter conditions. The impact of poor socioeconomic conditions may ...
Population Health Inequalities Across and Within European Metropolitan Areas th...
Costa, Cláudia Margarida Pereira da; Rodrigues, Ana Paula Santana; Dimitroulopoulou, Sani; Burström, Bo; Borrell, Carme; Schweikart, JürgenThe different geographical contexts seen in European metropolitan areas are reflected in the uneven distribution of health risk factors for the population. Accumulating evidence on multiple health determinants point to the importance of individual, social, economic, physical and built environment features, which can be shaped by the local authorities. The complexity of measuring health, which at the same time u...
Environmental public health risks in European metropolitan areas within the EUR...
Mitsakou, Christina; Dimitroulopoulou, Sani; Heaviside, Clare; Katsouyanni, Klea; Samoli, Evangelia; Rodopoulou, SophiaUrban areas in Europe are facing a range of environmental public health challenges, such as air pollution, traffic noise and road injuries. The identification and quantification of the public health risks associated with exposure to environmental conditions is important for prioritising policies and interventions that aim to diminish the risks and improve the health of the population. With this purpose in mind,...
