The spatial distribution of diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease incidence in Valencia, 2015–2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality, shaped by social, environmental and behavioural determinants. Assessing the spatial distribution and socio-economic stratification of these conditions at fine geographic scales can inform place-based public health strategies. This study characterises the spatial patterns, socioeconomic gradients and temporal evolution of diag…
Frailty as a Predictor of Adverse Outcomes among Spanish Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Spain is one of the European countries with the oldest populations. The prevalence of frailty among Spanish older people ranges from 8.4 to 29.4% and currently, is one of the most relevant public health challenges.

Migrants’ and refugees’ health status and healthcare in Europe
The European situation concerning migrants' and refugees' health status and access to healthcare is heterogeneous and it is difficult to compare and draw any firm conclusions due to the scant evidence. Different diseases are prioritised by different countries, although these priorities do not always correspond to the expressed needs or priorities of the migrants. Mental healthcare, preventive care (immunization) and long-term care in the presence…
Policy Makers', NGO, and Healthcare Workers' Accounts of Migrants' and Refugees' Healthcare Access Across Europe—Human Rights and Citizenship Based Claims
Freely available healthcare, universally accessible to the population of citizens, is a key ideal for European welfare systems. As labor migration of the twentieth century gave way to the globalized streams of the twenty-first century, new challenges to fulfilling these ideals have emerged. The principle of freedom of movement, together with large-scale forced migration have led to large scale movements of people, making new demands on European h…
Effectiveness and Estimation of Cost-Effectiveness of a Group-Based Multicomponent Physical Exercise Programme on Risk of Falling and Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
This study analyses the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a group-based multicomponent physical exercise programme aimed at reducing the risk of falling and frailty in community-dwelling older adults. This is a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, with an intervention group and a comparison group. Participants were evaluated at baseline and after 9 months. The effectiveness analyses showed significant reduction in the risk …

Tendo em conta a proliferação epistemológica destes conceitos no final do século XX pretende-se, no presente artigo, elaborar uma reflexão crítica em torno das múltiplas racionalidades estratégicas em que os conceitos se organizam, bem como, abordar os paradoxos que se instalam ao nível dos determ…
