Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS ZR0x7yST. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The purpose of this paper is to study the linkage between type of habitat and mortality from all causes in small areas of Southern Spain. An ecological study was conducted on 99,870 people who died between 1985 and 1999. The municipality was taken as the unit of analysis. Data analysis was carried out through hierarchical spatio-temporal Bayesian models. Results show a 13.3% reduction in mortality rates among men and 14.1% among women in the most rural areas compared to more urban environments. The study demonstrates the usefulness of socio-demographic indices in small-area geographical analyses. |
