Health status and living conditions of north-bound migrant minors in Mexico at place of origin and during the migration journey
The passage of north-bound migrants through Mexico has increased dramatically in the last decade, with an increasing proportion of minors. However, there is still little evidence on the health status and living conditions of migrant minors in transit through Mexico. The aim of this study was to better characterize the evolution of health status and its contributing factors in this population from the place of origin to the period of travel. We co…
Assessing educational disparities in Covid-19 related excess mortality in Spain
Introduction: Data on the increase in mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic based on individuals' socioeconomic positions are limited. This study examines this increase in mortality in Spain during the epidemic waves of 2020 and 2021. Methods: We calculated the overall and cause-specific mortality rates during the 2017-2019 pre-pandemic period and four epidemic periods in 2020 and 2021 (first, second, third-fourth, and fifth-sixth waves). Mortal…
Heavy Drinking by Occupation in Spain
Changes in all-cause and cause-specific mortality by occupational skill during Covid-19 epidemic in Spain

Determinants of educational inequalities in disability-free life expectancy between ages 35 and 80 in Europe
Socioeconomic inequalities in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) exist across all European countries, yet the driving determinants of these differences are not completely known. We calculated the impact on educational inequalities in DFLE of equalizing the distribution of eight risk factors for mortality and disability using register-based mortality data and survey data from 15 European countries for individuals between 35 and 80 years old. F…
Reversal of the Upward Trend of Obesity in Boys, but Not in Girls, in Spain
(1) Background: To compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys and girls and to estimate socioeconomic differences associated with obesity in Spain in 1997, 2007, and 2017. (2) Methods: Data were drawn from national health interview surveys. For each year of study, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was measured, and these results were compared by gender (boy/girl) and socioeconomic status (low/high education). (3) Results: The…
Trends and equity in the use of health services in Spain and Germany around austerity in Europe
In both Spain and Germany, service use decreased between 2009 and 2017. In the first few years, this reduction coincided with a period of austerity in Spain. In general, we did not find socioeconomic differences in health service use
Socioeconomic patterns and Covid-19 outcomes before, during and after the lockdown in Italy (2020)
The objective was to investigate the association between deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes in Italy during pre-lockdown, lockdown and post-lockdown periods using a retrospective cohort study with 38,534,169 citizens and 222,875 COVID-19 cases. Multilevel negative binomial regression models, adjusting for age, sex, population-density and region of residence were conducted to evaluate the association between area-level deprivation and COVID-19 inci…
Long-term impact of the 2008 economic crisis in Spain on road traffic collisions mortality by socioeconomic position
Erosion of universal health coverage and trend in the frequency of physician consultations in Spain
The restriction of universal healthcare coverage in Spain did not reduce the frequency of physician visits between 2009 and 2014, as the frequency of these consultations was seen to increase in both the native and immigrant populations
Trends in grip strength
Grip strength is seen as an objective indicator of morbidity and disability. However, empirical knowledge about trends in grip strength remains incomplete. As trends can occur due to effects of aging, time periods and birth cohorts, we used hierarchical age-period-cohort models to estimate and disentangle putative changes in grip strength. To do this, we used population-based data of older adults, aged 50 years and older, from Germany, Sweden, an…
Cardiovascular mortality and risk behaviours by degree of urbanization before, during and after the economic crisis in Spain
The pattern of cardiovascular mortality by degree of urbanization was similar before and after the crisis, although in women the excess mortality in small urban areas with respect to large urban areas was smaller after the crisis. The different pattern of risk behaviours in men and women, according to area of residence, could explain these findings

Mortality in Spain in the Context of the Economic Crisis and Austerity Policies
Objectives. To analyze the mortality trend in Spain before, during, and after the economic crisis and austerity policies. Methods. We calculated age-standardized annual mortality rates in 2001 through 2016 and estimated linear trends in mortality rates during 4 periods (2001–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2013, and 2014–2016) using the annual percentage change (APC). Results. All-cause mortality rate decreased during the period 2001 to 2016, although we f…
Trends in health inequalities in 27 European countries
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…
Use of health services according to income before and after elimination of copayment in Germany and restriction of universal health coverage in Spain
The results suggest that elimination of the copayment in Germany did not change the frequency of physician consultations, whereas after the restriction of universal health coverage in Spain, subjects with lower incomes had a higher frequency of physician consultations

Trends in inequalities in premature mortality
BACKGROUND: Over the last decades of the 20th century, a widening of the gap in death rates between upper and lower socioeconomic groups has been reported for many European countries. For most countries, it is unknown whether this widening has continued into the first decade of the 21st century. METHODS: We collected and harmonised data on mortality by educational level among men and women aged 30-74 years in all countries with available data: Fi…
Monitoring of trends in socioeconomic inequalities in mortality
This paper presents estimates of changes in socioeconomic inequalities in mortality between the 1980s and the 1990s in nine European countries. The best available evidence shows that relative inequalities in mortality generally widened, while the absol
Occupational class and ischemic heart disease mortality in the United States and 11 European countries
OBJECTIVES: Twelve countries were compared with respect to occupational class differences in ischemic heart disease mortality in order to identify factors that are associated with smaller or larger mortality differences. METHODS: Data on mortality by occupational class among men aged 30 to 64 years were obtained from national longitudinal or cross-sectional studies for the 1980s. A common occupational class scheme was applied to most countries. P…

Educational inequalities in avoidable mortality in Europe
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…
Trends in the association between average income, poverty and income inequality and life expectancy in Spain
Determinants of the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality
The magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality differs importantly between countries, but these variations have not been satisfactorily explained. We explored the role of behavioral and structural determinants of these variations, by using a dataset covering 17 European countries in the period 1970-2010, and by conducting multilevel multivariate regression analyses. Our results suggest that between-country variations in inequalities in …
Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health in 17 European countries between 1990 and 2010
BACKGROUND: Between the 1990s and 2000s, relative inequalities in all-cause mortality increased, whereas absolute inequalities decreased in many European countries. Whether similar trends can be observed for inequalities in other health outcomes is unknown. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health (SAH) in Europe between 1990 and 2010. METHODS: Data were obtained from nati…
Fundamental causes’ of inequalities in mortality
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…

Low birth weight in Spain associated with sociodemographic factors
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To describe the effect of different social and demographic characteristics on low birth weight (LBW) (less than 2500 g) in Spain, in both preterm (less than 37 weeks' gestation) and term infants (between 37 and 42 weeks' gestation). DESIGN--The study used data obtained from the Spanish birth registry. SETTING--The study was based on those live born infants registered in 1988 from provinces where the birthweight details were compl…
Inequalities in mortality in shrinking and growing areas
Modern societies are extremely mobile, yet the influence of population change in residential areas on mortality has rarely been investigated. Davey Smith et al showed that male and female mortality around the time of the 1991 census across 292 areas in Britain was inversely correlated with population growth in the previous two decades.1,2 Molarius and Janson studied 16 municipalities in Sweden and found a similar correlation between population ch…

Persistent variations in average height between countries and between socio-economic groups
The persistence of international differences in average height into the youngest birth cohorts indicates a high degree of continuity of differences between countries in childhood living conditions. Similarly, the persistence of education-related height differences indicates continuity of socio-economic differences in childhood living conditions, and also suggests that socio-economic differences in childhood living conditions will continue to cont…

Educational level and mortality from infectious diseases
The explanation for the observed social gradient in morbidity and mortality is a subject of controversy. Whereas some authors emphasise the importance of psychosocial factors related with health,1 because they show a linear relation with individual socioeconomic status, others postulate that health inequalities are produced as a result of a differential accumulation of exposures and experiences that have their origin in objective material conditi…
