DESIGN: Prospective, observational study. METHODS: ...
To identify the level of per capita emissions currently corresponding to a specific HDI threshold, we carried out a panel regression of the log of emissions per capita on inequality-adjusted HDI and country population from the World Bank’s Open Data portal (World Bank, 2018) using yearly ...
Fig. 5. Correlation between male height in 100 countries and the values of the human development index (HDI) for 2011. The relationship between male height and the IHDI (inequality-adjusted HDI) (r = 0.87; p < 0.001 in 72 countries) (Appendix Fig. 7) is even stronger than in the case...
However, these variables were taken into account in the multivariate regression, so the association between mask usage and excess mortality cannot be explained by them. The bivariate regressions showed a negative correlation between socioeconomic factors (GDP per capita, HDI) and excess mortality. Why...
Existential security is operationalized using gross domestic product (GDP) and, as a robustness check, human development index (HDI). Controlling for a host of individual and contextual confounders, findings indicate that negative social ties are positively associated with emotional distress but ...
This curve is known as the EKC because it resembles the Environmental Kuznets Curve, which illustrates the connection between income and income inequality50,51. The empirical investigations of51–53; are considered as the pillars of the EKC hypothesis, despite the fact that there have been ...
(Goswami2014). In this context, by deploying a stepwise regression analysis, Ngwenyama et al. (2006) question whether investments in ICT, education, and health care are related to human development, which is proxied by HDI, for five West African countries over the period 1997 to 2003. Their...
Suppose we are interested in the level of income inequality in a country. First, explain why this is important. Then explain why GDP per capita is not sufficient and propose a different measurement. Explain why each of the following should be taken into account when GDP data are used t...
They also directly relate to the main components of the Human Development Index (HDI). Level of educational attainment by gender as well as health and mortality by age and for men and women separately (which form two of the three components of the Human Development Index) are explicitly ...
The interplay between sociodemographic and environmental indices, including the Socio-demographic Index, EPI, HDI, Gini Index, and fall-related mortality rates, reveals key insights. Regions with higher income inequality struggle with fall prevention and care. Effective interventions should consider these ...
