“…As with any GWR study, it is important to estimate the parameters of the global non-spatial regression (1) so that this benchmark model can be compared to its GWR counterpart [58,59]. However, as there is no single agreed-upon functional form in modeling, several statistical tests were conducted, using a pseudo-stepwise procedure, to explore the data with a limited number of OLS regression analyses [55].…”

This study aims to extract and explain the territorially varied relation between socioeconomic factors and absence rate from work due to own illness or disability in European countries in the years 2006–2020. For this purpose, several causes were identified, depending on men and women. To explain the absenteeism and emphasize gender as well as intercountry differences, geographically weighted regression was applied. For men, there were five main variables that influenced sickness absence: body mass index, the average rating of satisfaction by job situation, employment in the manufacturing sector, social benefits by sickness/health care, and performing health-enhancing physical activity. For women, there were five main variables that increased the absence rate: the risk of poverty or social exclusion, long-standing illness or health problems, employment in the manufacturing sector, social protection benefits, and deaths due to pneumonia. Based on the conducted research, it was proven that the sickness absence observed in the analyzed countries was highly gender and spatially diverged. Understanding the multifactorial factors playing an important role in the occurrence of regional and gender-divergent sickness absence may be a good predictor of subsequent morbidity and mortality as well as be very useful to better prevent this outcome.

“…On the contrary, like other econometric models, GWR has several flaws, one of which is multi-collinearity in local coefficients. Despite this fact, GWR is considered a useful instrument to detect spatial variation and has been widely used in prior research [17,41,[58][59][60].…”

Background In developing countries, the death probability of a child and mother is more significant than in developed countries; these inequalities in health outcomes are unfair. The present study encompasses a spatial analysis of maternal and child mortalities in Pakistan. The study aims to estimate the District Mortality Index (DMI), measure the inequality ratio and slope, and ascertain the spatial impact of various factors on DMI scores across Pakistani districts. Method This study utilized the micro-level household datasets from multiple indicator cluster surveys (MICS) to construct the DMI and used the inequality ratio and slope to measure the disparity in DMI scores. This study further utilized the spatial autocorrelation tests to determine the magnitude and location of the spatial dependence of the clusters with high- and low-mortality rates. The Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model was also applied to examine the spatial impact of socioeconomic, environmental, health, and housing attributes on DMI. Results The inequality ratio for DMI showed that the upper decile districts are 16 times more prone to mortalities than districts in the lower decile, and the districts of Baluchistan depicted extreme spatial heterogeneity in terms of DMI. The findings of the Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) and Moran's test confirmed spatial homogeneity in all mortalities among the districts in Pakistan. The H-H clusters of maternal mortality and DMI were located in Baluchistan, and the H-H clusters of child mortality were seen in Punjab. The results of GWR showed that the wealth index quintile has a significant spatial impact on DMI; however, improved sanitation, handwashing practices, and antenatal care adversely influenced DMI scores. Conclusion The findings reveal a significant disparity in DMI and spatial relationships among all mortalities in the districts of Pakistan. Additionally, socioeconomic, environmental, health, and housing variables have an impact on DMI. Notably, spatial proximity among individuals who are at risk of death occurs in areas with elevated mortality rates. Policymakers may mitigate these mortalities by focusing on vulnerable zones and implementing measures such as raising public awareness, enhancing healthcare services, and improving access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.

“…Kérdezőbiztosokat készítettünk fel, akik személyesen bonyolították le az adatfelvételt a célcsoport tagjai körében. 1 A második körös felmérés eredményeként összesen 684 kitöltött és értékelhető kérdőív állt rendelkezésünkre. Az adatbázis létrehozása utáni első elemzéskor kiderült, hogy a mintánkban, az országos adatokhoz képest felülreprezentált a férfiak aránya, így a KSH által közzétett információk (Népszámlálás 2011 és Mikrocenzus 2016, a nemek megoszlására vonatkozó adatok, 2020-2021) alapján a nemekre súlyoztuk adatbázisunkat.…”

Tanulmányunkban az idősödő korosztály egészségi állapotát, egészségmagatartását és táplálkozási szokásait feltérképező vizsgálatunk eredményeit mutatjuk be, melynek adatfelvételét 2021-ben bonyolítottunk le az 50 éves és annál idősebb lakosság körében. Vizsgálatunkban kérdőíves módszert alkalmaztunk, melynek segítségével 684 fő válaszainak kiértékelése vált lehetővé. Eredményeink szerint a válaszadók egyharmada szenved valamiyen krónikus betegségben és minden negyedik túlsúlyos. Az érintett célcsoport egészségtudatossága jónak mondható. Az egészségműveltség szignifikáns összefüggést mutatott az iskolai végzettséggel, a nemmel, a szubjektív egészségi állapottal és a valamilyen krónikus betegség jelenlétével.
