Mortality by income in the elderly population in Italy
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality persist across welfare systems. Income, a key determinant of material resources and long-term security, is rarely measured at the individual level in epidemiological studies due to data limitations. This study addresses this gap by combining individual-level income and mortality data in Italy, focusing on the elderly, for whom income may be a more sensitive socioeconomic indicator than education…
Multi-Morbidity at Death and the US Disadvantage in Mortality
The US experiences significant excess mortality compared to peer countries. The literature indicates that a similar disadvantage affects morbidity and, more generally, the prevalence of risk factors for major diseases within the US population. In this study, we assess the impact of multi-morbidity at death on the mortality gap between the US and three other high-income countries with comparable data, namely France, Italy, and Spain. The study rel…
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among Italian and immigrant residents
Socioeconomic inequalities in avoidable mortality in Italy
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality persist in Italy, with an extremely varied response to policies at the regional level, representing a possible missed gain in health and suggesting a reassessment of priorities and definition of health targets
Frailty at death
Notable cross-country differences were found in the prevalence and the type of frailty-related symptoms at death even after adjusting for differential age distributions
Male and Female Differences in Homicide Mortality
Introduction: Italy has one of the lowest homicide rates in Europe. However, while it is decreasing overall, the proportion of murdered women is increasing. This study aimed to analyze the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with homicide mortality in Italy, focusing specifically on male and female differences. Methods: Using a longitudinal design, the Italian 2011 General Census population was followed up to 2018. Deaths fro…
Variation in Cause-Specific Mortality Rates in Italy during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Italy was a country severely hit by the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wave in early 2020. Mortality studies have focused on the overall excess mortality observed during the pandemic. This paper investigates the cause-specific mortality in Italy from March 2020 to April 2020 and the variation in mortality rates compared with those in 2015-2019 regarding sex, age, and epidemic area. Causes of death were derived from the nationa…
Multi-morbidity and frailty at death
Mortality statistics based on underlying cause of death are challenged by increased life expectancy and the growing share of population reaching ages associated with frequent multi-morbidity (with death likely resulting from interactions between multiple diseases). We provide a novel way of analysing causes of death: accounting for all causes mentioned on death certificates and summarizing this information along two dimensions emblematic of agein…
Residential Proximity to Major Roadways and Lung Cancer Mortality. Italy, 1990–2010
In Italy, residing near national major roads, in particular in rural municipalities, was related to elevated risks of death for lung cancer
Mortality From Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Dementias in France and Italy
Our research highlights several consequences of the conditions under study that could be targeted by public health policy. It also speaks to the existence of differences in diagnosis/certification practices that may explain differences in mortality levels
Analysing Multiple Causes of Death
Revisiting the mortality of France and Italy with the multiple-cause-of-death approach
In this paper, we use the multiple cause-of-death approach to compare the mortality profiles of France and Italy in 2003. Our analysis leads to a substantial re-evaluation of the role played by certain conditions in the process leading to death. Regard
