Background
Lung cancer mortality in European countries shows different epidemiological patterns according to sex and socioeconomic variables. Some countries show decreasing rates in both sexes, while others show a delayed profile, with increasing mortality in women, inconsistently influenced by socioeconomic status. Our aim was to evaluate the effe...

This work aims to offer a spatial analysis of municipal mortality for the whole of Italy
in the period 2012-2016 and to assess whether the very large geographical differences in
unemployment levels may be of help in explaining mortality differentials across the country. We find that the municipalities characterized by the highest unemployment rate,...
The province of Cadiz, Spain, is a highly industrialized area with numerous registered industrial plants, which has led to major concern regarding the possible influence of these facilities on the high rate of cancer-related mortality observed.

Nuestro objet...

En el estudio de la desigualdad en la mortalidad en ciudades se utiliza la sección censal como unidad de análisis habitualmente, sobre todo por la disponibilidad de índices de
privación a este nivel. Sin embargo esta división administrativa no define un espacio urbano que identifique de manera integral a sus habitantes com...
Sardinia has been for long times under the lens of biologists, demographers and social scientists for the high longevity of the population of some of its territories. However, and in some sense paradoxically, the island represents an ideal context to study the effect on human mortality produced by the environmental deterioration caused by the settl...

Several studies show the association between socioeconomic inequalities and cancer, increasing mortality i...
