  • Trends in health inequalities in 27 European countries

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, Jose R Rubio Valverde et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2018

    Significance Inequalities in mortality and morbidity among socioeconomic groups are a highly persistent phenomenon despite having been the focus of public health policy in many countries. The United States has recently witnessed a widening of health inequalities due to rising mortality and morbidity among the lowly educated. Our study shows that, despite the financial crisis, most European countries have experienced an improvement in the health o…

  • Recompositions géopolitiques et évolution de la mortalité dans les pays de l’ancien Empire Austro-Hongrois depuis 1920

    Open AccessJitka Rychtarikova, Jean‐François LégerARTICLEEspace populations sociétés2018

    La mortalité a connu au cours du 20e siècle de profondes transformations qui ont conduit, dans la plupart des pays d’Europe, au doublement de l’espérance de vie en un siècle. Le rythme des progrès de l’espérance de vie a toutefois été très inégal selon les pays. Une ligne de clivage a notamment opposé, en Europe, l’Ouest et l’Est du continent. Les bouleversements historiques que l’Europe a connu depuis cent ans ne sont pas étrangers à cette parti…

  • Fundamental causes’ of inequalities in mortality

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, Caspar W N Looman et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2017Cited by: 10References: 9

    The ‘fundamental causes’ theory stipulates that when new opportunities for lowering mortality arise, higher socioeconomic groups will benefit more because of their greater material and non‐material resources. We tested this theory using harmonised mortality data by educational level for 22 causes of death and 20 European populations from the period 1980–2010. Across all causes and populations, mortality on average declined by 2.49 per cent (95% C…

  • Socioeconomic differences in the use of ill-defined causes of death in 16 European countries

    Open AccessIvana Kulhánová, Gwenn Menvielle et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    We found evidence for educational differences in the distribution of ill-defined causes of death. However, the differences between educational groups were small suggesting that socioeconomic inequalities in cause-specific mortality in Europe are not likely to be biased

  • The potential impact of a social redistribution of specific risk factors on socioeconomic inequalities in mortality

    Rasmus Hoffmann, Terje A Eikemo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Cited by: 2References: 26

    BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic differences in health are a major challenge for public health. However, realistic estimates to what extent they are modifiable are scarce. This problem can be met through the systematic application of the population attributable fraction (PAF) to socioeconomic health inequalities. METHODS: The authors used cause-specific mortality data by educational level from Belgium, Norway and Czech Republic and data on the prevalenc…

  • Impact of parental ages and other characteristics at childbearing on congenital anomalies

    Open AccessJitka Rychtarikova, Catherine Gourbin et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2013Cited by: 1References: 38

    While it is widely known that maternal age at childbearing plays a role in the occurrence of Down syndrome, less is known about the effects of maternal age on other major congenital anomalies. Information on the possible effects of other maternal characteristics and of the age of the father is even scarcer

  • Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality from conditions amenable to medical interventions

    Open AccessIris Plug, Rasmus Hoffmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    We did not find evidence that inequalities in mortality from amenable conditions are related to inequalities in access or quality of health care. Further research is needed to find the causes of socio-economic inequalities in mortality from amenable conditions, and caution should be exercised in interpreting these inequalities as indicating health care deficiencies

  • Inequalities in health expectancies at older ages in the European Union

    Carol Jagger, Claire Weston et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Cited by: 8References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Life expectancy gaps between Eastern and Western Europe are well reported with even larger variations in healthy life years (HLY). AIMS: To compare European countries with respect to a wide range of health expectancies based on more specific measures that cover the disablement process in order to better understand previous inequalities. METHODS: Health expectancies at age 50 by gender and country using Sullivan's method were calculate…

  • Educational inequalities in avoidable mortality in Europe

    Irina Stirbu, Anton E Kunst et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010Cited by: 13References: 43

    BACKGROUND: The magnitude of educational inequalities in mortality avoidable by medical care in 16 European populations was compared, and the contribution of inequalities in avoidable mortality to educational inequalities in life expectancy in Europe was determined. METHODS: Mortality data were obtained for people aged 30-64 years. For each country, the association between level of education and avoidable mortality was measured with the use of re…

  • Les défis actuels de la démographie tchèque

    Jitka RychtarikovaARTICLERevue d’études comparatives…2009References: 4

    Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, deux ensembles géopolitiques, l’Est et l’Ouest, se sont formellement constitués en Europe. Le nouveau régime politique imposé à la République tchèque a eu pour effet le ralentissement de son développement économique et, quelque temps plus tard, l’adoption d’un comportement démographique comparable à celui des pays de l’Est. La divergence des trajectoires entre l’Est et l’Ouest, amorcée au milieu des années 1960, …

  • The case of the Czech Republic

    Open AccessJitka RychtarikovaARTICLEDemographic Research2004Cited by: 14

    Since the collapse of the socialist system at the beginning of the 1990s, the health situation in the Czech Republic has improved more rapidly than in other CEE countries. Mortality from circulatory diseases decreased significantly at higher ages. The recent decline in mortality is likely to be attributable to technical progress in medical treatment and less affected by the change in lifestyle. While the use of cardiovascular drugs and the number…

  • Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among women and among men

    J P Mackenbach, Anton E Kunst et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1999Cited by: 57References: 25

    OBJECTIVES: This study compared differences in total and cause-specific mortality by educational level among women with those among men in 7 countries: the United States, Finland, Norway, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Estonia. METHODS: National data were obtained for the period ca. 1980 to ca. 1990. Age-adjusted rate ratios comparing a broad lower-educational group with a broad upper-educational group were calculated with Poisson regres…

  • Trajectories of fetal loss in the czech republic

    Open AccessElwood Carlson, Jan M Hoem et al.ARTICLEDemography1999Cited by: 4References: 34

    Using data for 555,038 pregnancies conceived in the Czech Republic in 1987-1990, we show that pronounced differences in fetal survival in the middle trimester of pregnancy by marital status, educational level, and labor force attachment become much smaller at full term; survival differences by age at conception and number of previous deliveries show relatively constant proportional hazards throughout gestation. Social inequalities in postpartum l…

  • La République tchèque va-t-elle sortir de la crise de santé de l'Europe de l'Est

    Open AccessJitka RychtarikovaARTICLEEspace populations sociétés1998

    La République tchèque n'a pas connu l'augmentation de la mortalité observée dans d'autres anciens pays communistes pendant la période de transition. Au contraire, depuis 1991, le déclin s'est intensifié. Un changement favorable a été observé pour les adultes et les personnes âgées, le second étant dû à la diminution de la mortalité par maladies de l'appareil circulatoire. L'amélioration du nombre d'hommes survivants a été particulièrement importa…

  • Czech and Slovak Families in the European Context

    Open AccessJitka RychtarikovaARTICLEJournal of Family History1994Cited by: 3References: 1

    During the past two decades most of the developed countries of Europe have witnessed changes in such family-related demographic phenomena as nuptiality, divorce, and fertility. For the time being, the Czech and Slovak Republics continue to exhibit patterns established earlier in history. Marriage is universal and is contracted at young ages. Children are born to young parents and at short childbirth intervals. The proportion of childless women is…
