Relationship of total 25-OH vitamin D concentrations to Indices of Multiple Deprivation: geoanalysis of laboratory results. Background: Vitamin D deficiency appears to be widespread and associated with ethnicity and economic status. Geography is the key to virtually all national... Webster,C. - 《...
The infant mortality rate (IMR) is defined as the number of deaths in children under 1 year of age per 1,000 live births in the same year. IMR is a common indicator of population health. We assumed IMR as a dimension where high values imply higher deprivation. ...
capability achievements as a space for evaluating urban QoL in young adults. A multiple linear regression was calculated to predict YACI based on additional variables which are sensitive to inequality for young adults. Results show that capability scores are lower once young adults enter adulthood. W...
It is well documented that child health is influenced by multiple factors. These factors include social determinants of health (e.g. socioeconomic conditions), health outcomes (e.g., infectious diseases) and health system characteristics (e.g., access to care) (Spencer, 2018; Tarazi et al.,...
Still other work includes entire environmental domains to estimate non-residential ambient conditions (e.g., socioeconomic deprivation) [10, 11]. And rarely, if ever, are multiple environmental domains combined, even though we know humans are exposed to these multiple environmental domains ...
Some of the research findings in these domains are highlighted below. Figure 1. The conceptual framework for Community Ecohealth Index (CEHI) includes overlapping domains for buffering hazards, promoting health, and sustaining capacity. Multiple ecohealth indicators are associated with each domain, and...
Urban inequality, specifically in vulnerable areas, has been a study topic from the earliest days of sociology to the present. This study’s objective is to discuss the scope and limitation of the concept of urban vulnerability, whilst generating an inde
There are multiple ways of defining urban vulnerability, some giving greater impor- tance to one or another aspect. Thus, from the social perspective, urban vulnerability refers to the potentiality of a given population of a specific urban space of being affected by certain adverse circumstance(s)...
As suggested by the report "Energy poverty and vulnerable consumers in the energy sector across the EU: analysis of policies and measures" [72], social housing is at the centre of multiple initiatives since social-housing dwellers may be particularly vulnerable to energy poverty [52,54]. These...
Finally, we investigated the nexus of the livelihood vulnerability index (LVI) and the asset deprivation index (ADI) to determine the vulnerable categories or clusters concerning asset deprivation. 3.1. LVI Results: Comparing LVI among the Unions Figure 4 represents the LVI score of the major ...
