Is income inequality linked to infectious disease prevalence? A hypothesis-generating study using tuberculosis
Businesses in high-income zip codes often saw sharper visit reductions during the Covid-19 pandemic
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, the mobility patterns of people worldwide changed drastically. While travel time, costs, and trip convenience have always influenced mobility, the risk of infection and policy actions such as lockdowns and stay-at-home orders emerged as new factors to consider in the location-visitation calculus. We use SafeGraph mobility data from Minnesota, USA, to demonstrate that businesses (especially those requiring extend…

The genesis of hospital medicine in India
The history of the Calcutta Medical College (CMC) is intertwined with the rise of hospital medicine and modern medical pedagogy in India. This article will argue that the extension of medicinal practice in India ushered in a new paradigm of knowledge: the singular act of cadaveric dissection introduced indelible changes in the perception of the body and disease. The CMC was constituted by an ensemble of different components—medical teaching at Un…
Changes in U.S. hospitalization and mortality rates following smoking bans
U.S. state and local governments have increasingly adopted restrictions on smoking in public places. This paper analyzes nationally representative databases, including the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, to compare short-term changes in mortality and hospitalization rates in smoking-restricted regions with control regions. In contrast with smaller regional studies, we find that smoking bans are not associated with statistically significant short-ter…
Hormone Replacement Therapy and Cardiovascular Health in the United States
BACKGROUND: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was widely used among postmenopausal women until 2002 because observational studies suggested that HRT reduced cardiovascular risk. The Women's Health Initiative randomized trial reported opposite results in 2002, which caused HRT use to drop sharply. OBJECTIVE: We examine the relationship between HRT use and cardiovascular outcomes (deaths and nonfatal hospitalizations) in the entire US population, w…

Heat or Eat? Cold-Weather Shocks and Nutrition in Poor American Families
Objectives. The authors sought to determine the effects of cold-weather periods on budgets and nutritional outcomes among poor American families. Methods. The Consumer Expenditure Survey was used to track expenditures on food and home fuels, and the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to track calorie consumption, dietary quality, vitamin deficiencies, and anemia. Results. Both poor and richer families increased fuel e…
Personal Choices of Health Plans by Managed Care Experts
BACKGROUND: Expert opinion has not been used as a basis for comparing different forms of health insurance, in part because this perspective may not be appropriately sensitive to aspects of care that consumers value. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using a case-control design, managed care experts were surveyed at 17 academic institutions in the United States to determine the type of health plan they chose (fee-for-service, HMO, POS, PPO, or catastrophic). Contr…
