A further consideration is how these elasticities vary in the short and long term and whether they depend on the magnitude of income changes. Hargreaves et al. (2013) reported that the mean annual CO2 emissions of the lowest three income deciles in the UK were 5, 5.9 and 6.9 tCO2/capita ...
UK_IMD_E_pop_decile- A new set of deciles for the whole dataset, so that 10% of the population is in each decile (there will be an uneven number of areas). UK_IMD_E_pop_quintile- A new set of quintiles for the whole dataset, so that 20% of the population is in each quintile...
Health inequalities are continuing to rise in the UK [1]. In 2013, the UK Government implemented a major reform of social security with the introduction of Universal Credit (UC). UC combined six benefits and tax credits (income-based Job Seekers Allowance, income-related Employment and Support ...
In many cases, these policies and programmes rightly attempt to directly influence the societal distribution of an underlying determinant of health, such as: income (especially after government taxes and transfers); educational and health services; social welfare benefits; and other goods and services ...
Our analysis unravelled a significant association between average noise pollution and increased risk of all-cause mortality. Specifically, those in the upper deciles of noise exposure have between 5 and 10% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to the lowest decile. ...
The impact of this exponential increase is affecting differently the households in different income deciles in the UK. The average spending on energy per household reaches these days an 8.3% of total expenditures for the lower 10%, 7.7% for the second decile and decreases until 3.3% for the ...
(Pounis et al., 2016). To compute the INFLA-score, for all four components, laying in the highest deciles (7th to 10th) were assigned values from +1 to +4; while biomarker levels laying in the lowest deciles (1st to 4th) were given values from −4 to −1. The INFLA-score ...
Therapeutic hypothermia is standard of care in high-income countries for babies born with signs of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, but optimal feeding during treatment is uncertain and practice is variable. This study aimed to assess the association between feeding during therapeutic hypothermia and clin...
