“…Although there are evidence of the relationship between environmental conditions and life expectancy in Poland (Mijakowska 1982;Kuropka 1998), some researchers argue that the observed trends in life expectancy in Poland should not be attributed mainly to environmental pollution without careful attention to other contributing factors (e.g., Malczewski 1990;Szejnwald-Brown et al 1995;Andryszek et al 1996). This argument is, at least partially, supported by the results of the spatial autocorrelation analysis.…”

The paper presents an exploratory analysis of the geographical patterns of life expectancy at birth by sex in Poland. For the purpose of spatial statistical analysis the geographical variation of life expectancy is partitioned into two components: regional (global) trend and the local variation (or residuals). The spatial autocorrelations of the residuals from the trend surface analysis are examined using global and local statistics. The results indicate that there are statistically significant geographical clusters of high and low life expectancies for men and women in Poland.
