    To analyse the gap in life expectancy by educational level in the city of Barcelona from 2004 to 2018 and to decompose this gap by age and causes of death. We computed abridged life tables at the age of 25 years by sex from 2004 to 2018 using standard methods. Educational level was categorised in two groups (lower secondary or less vs. upper secondary or higher education). The life expectancy gap was further decomposed by age and by causes of dea…

  • Geographical Variability in Mortality in Urban Areas

    Open AccessMiguel A Martínez‐Beneito, Carlos Vergara-Hernández et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The geographical distribution of mortality has frequently been studied. Nevertheless, those studies often consider isolated causes of death. In this work, we aim to study the geographical distribution of mortality in urban areas, in particular, in 26 Spanish cities. We perform an overall study of 16 causes of death, considering that their geographical patterns could be dependent and estimating the dependence between the causes of death. We study …

  • Spatial Variability of Heat-Related Mortality in Barcelona from 1992–2015

    Open AccessVijendra Ingole, Marc Marí-Dell’olmo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Numerous studies have demonstrated the relationship between summer temperatures and increased heat-related deaths. Epidemiological analyses of the health effects of climate exposures usually rely on observations from the nearest weather station to assess exposure-response associations for geographically diverse populations. Urban climate models provide high-resolution spatial data that may potentially improve exposure estimates, but to date, they…
