  • Componentes generacionales y socioeconómicos de la discapacidad entre los mayores españoles

    Open AccessAntonio D Cámara, Pilar Zueras et al.ARTICLERevista Española de Investigaciones…2024References: 5

    Este artículo analiza dos posibles condicionantes de la discapacidad entre los mayores españoles (edades 65-89) residentes en hogares: su adscripción generacional y su estatus socioeconómico. Se utilizan microdatos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de España con los que se construye un indicador de discapacidad en escala continua a partir de la autonomía declarada para la realización de actividades cotidianas. Se aplican modelos de regresión linea…

  • Age and cause-of-death contributions to educational inequalities in life expectancy and lifespan variation in a low-mortality country

    Open AccessSergi Trias-Llimó, Jeroen Spijker et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

    Whereas behavioural causes are more important in explaining educational inequalities in mortality among men, ageing-related causes of death seem more important among women. Attempts at narrowing socioeconomic gaps in mortality may benefit from applying gender-specific preventive policy measures

  • Regional inequalities in life expectancy and lifespan variation by educational attainment in Spain, 2014–2018

    Open AccessOctavio Bramajo, I Permanyer et al.ARTICLEPopulation Space and Place2022Cited by: 6References: 13

    Two important sources of inequality in mortality are regional variation and individuals' socioeconomic status. While many studies have investigated the effect that each of these two factors might have had on mortality levels separately, they have rarely been studied simultaneously. Using linked data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics, we study regional levels of life expectancy and lifespan inequality by sex and educational attainm…

  • El efecto de la salud en la actividad en los mayores de 50 años en España

    Open AccessAntía Domínguez-Rodríguez, Amand Blanes et al.ARTICLECuadernos de Relaciones Laborales2019References: 1

    El objetivo es indagar si variables sociodemográficas, como la educación o hogar, y el contexto económico modulan el efecto de la salud sobre el abandono del mercado laboral en los mayores de 50 años. Se emplea la regresión logística para estimar probabilidades de estar activo según estado de salud, por edad y sexo, controlando por otras variables sociodemográficas. La información proviene de los microdatos de las encuestas de salud de 2006 (ENSE…

  • Longevity and Lifespan Variation by Educational Attainment in Spain

    Open AccessI Permanyer, Jeroen Spijker et al.ARTICLEDemography2018Cited by: 16References: 80

    For a long time, studies of socioeconomic gradients in health have limited their attention to between-group comparisons. Yet, ignoring the differences that might exist within groups and focusing on group-specific life expectancy levels and trends alone, one might arrive at overly simplistic conclusions. Using data from the Spanish Encuesta Sociodemográfica and recently released mortality files by the Spanish Statistical Office (INE), this is the …

  • Mortality in Catalonia in the context of the third, fourth and future phases of the epidemiological transition theory

    Open AccessJeroen Spijker, Amand Blanes et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2009Cited by: 3References: 15

    In the period 1960-2000, male and female life expectancy increased by 8,2 and 10,5 years, respectively, in Catalonia, one of Spainâ s Autonomous Regions, to one of the highest in the world. Initially, most gains were due to lower infant mortality, but a
