Inequality in Healthcare Utilization in Italy
In Italy, healthcare access is generally guaranteed for all of the services, except for specialist and dental visits that face a waiting time and financial barriers.

The north-south gradient for healthcare utilization could be explained through the existing differences in organizational characteristics of the several regional healthcare services throughout Italy
The long-term effect of job mobility on workers’ mental health
Our study found that workers with external job mobility have a doubled risk of treatment with neuropsychological medication, compared to workers without job mobility
The Impact of a Change in Employment on Three Work-Related Diseases

Dealing with loads, doing shift work and being daily exposed to the noise of 87 dB correlated with being on medication for musculoskeletal (MSD). Dealing with physical loads, doing night work and being exposed to the noise of 80 dB were risk factors for being on medication for neuropsychological (NPD). While doing …

Self-Perceived Health, Objective Health, and Quality of Life among People Aged 50 and Over
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it is a subjective health indicator, is significantly associated with objective health and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether it can be considered an indicator of cognitive functioning and quality of life in the elderly is still an open issue. This study used a data-driven approach to investigate the interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL,…
