| contents | Income, income inequality and mortality in metropolitan regions of Brazil: an exploratory approach Mardone Cavalcante França Neir Antunes Paes Demografía Brazil urban health adult mortality income inequality metropolitan regions The goal of this study is to perform anempirical verification of the hypotheses of absolute income and income inequality for 16 metropolitan regions of Brazil (MRB), based on data from the Demographic Census of 2000 and vital statistics from 1999-2001 (deaths byage, sex and causes of death). To test the hypotheses, multiple regression models were adjusted for each independent variable and thestatistical significance of regressioncoefficients corresponding to each hypothesis was verified. The results suggest that mean income is the determinant health factor for thepopulation residing in MRB and not income inequality. 2007 artículo científico 1405-7425 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=11205310 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=112 Papeles de Población application/pdf Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Papeles de Población (México) Num.53 Vol.13 |
