Late-Life Suicidal Ideation in Nordic and Central-European Countries
Older adults are disproportionately affected by suicide, yet suicidal ideation in this population remains underexplored. This study examines gender-specific risk factors and regional differences in late-life suicidal ideation across Nordic and Visegrad countries, with loneliness as a key social determinant. This study analysed data from 11,712 participants aged 50 years and older from seven European countries (Nordic and Visegrad regions), drawin…
Decoding life expectancy gaps
Life expectancy at birth serves as a proxy measure of community health, indicating socio-economic development, healthcare accessibility, and the success of health policies. Observed differences in life expectancy among countries signal health inequalities, which should be addressed by developed societies.This study examines the development and variability of life expectancy at birth among three geographically, politically, culturally, but also cl…
Exploring vulnerability amplification in regional health inequality
This paper proposes a novel conceptual framework of vulnerability amplification to examine regional health inequalities. It combines differential vulnerability in health and social amplification of risk, as mechanisms of differential vulnerability are shaped by mechanisms of social amplification and mutually influence the level and dynamics of regional health inequalities. A spatial epidemiology analytical framework is used to examine ecological …

The aim is to investigate protective health and socio-geographical factors for post-COVID-19 conditions in adults aged 50 years and older in Europe. METHODS: Using longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, collected from June to August 2021, protective factors against post-COVID-19 condition among…
How health capabilities and government restrictions affect the Covid-19 pandemic
Migrant Remitting as Transnational Practice
We examine the relationship between the social practice of migrant remitting and the transnational field connecting Moldova with Italy and Czechia. Using data from a harmonized migrant survey, we estimate ordinal regression models and distinguish two remitting practices. Family remitting is organized around a set of routinized activities and communications that support the survival needs of families, while civil remitting contributes to the long-…
Socioeconomic Inequalities in Chronic Liver Diseases and Cirrhosis Mortality in European Urban Areas before and after the Onset of the 2008 Economic Recession
There are geographical socioeconomic inequalities in chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis mortality, mainly among men, that did not change during the 2008 financial crisis. These results should be monitored in the long term
Effect of the recent economic crisis on socioeconomic inequalities in mortality in nine urban areas in Europe
To analyse socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality among men and women in nine European urban areas during the recent economic crisis, and to compare the results to those from two periods before the crisis. This is an ecological study of trends based on three time periods (2000-2003, 2004-2008 and 2009-2014). The units of analysis were the small areas of nine European urban areas. We used a composite deprivation index as a socioeconomic…
Social Remittances upon Closer Examination
Our goal is twofold: to contribute to conceptualizing social remittances and to shed new light on who the most important agents of change are. Using data from our own questionnaire surveys, carried out with Moldovan migrants in Prague, Czechia (N = 203) and Turin, Italy (N = 206) in 2017–2018, we applied classification and regression trees analysis. In addition to defining three types of social remittances—interpersonal communication–based, proje…
Health Disparities in Czechia and Portugal at Country and Municipality Levels
This article investigates the health outcomes and determinants between two different European populations, Portuguese and Czech, on two hierarchical levels: country and metropolitan area. At first, the decomposition method of age and cause of death were compared on the country level, and then health was examined based on a factor analysis at the municipality level of Prague and Lisbon. The results clearly indicate problematic diabetes mortality a…
Population Health Inequalities Across and Within European Metropolitan Areas through the Lens of the Euro-HEALTHY Population Health Index
The different geographical contexts seen in European metropolitan areas are reflected in the uneven distribution of health risk factors for the population. Accumulating evidence on multiple health determinants point to the importance of individual, social, economic, physical and built environment features, which can be shaped by the local authorities. The complexity of measuring health, which at the same time underscores the level of intra-urban …
Cardiovascular health among the Czech population at the beginning of the 21st century
BACKGROUND: In the late 1980s, Czechia was among the countries which had the highest cardiovascular mortality in the world. In spite of enormous improvements since that time, there are still large opportunities in further improving cardiovascular health. METHODS: Based on the Czech Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial Factors in Eastern Europe sample (n=8449 at baseline, 12 years of follow-up, 494 cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths up to 2015-events…
Social Hazards as Manifested Workplace Discrimination and Health (Vietnamese and Ukrainian Female and Male Migrants in Czechia)
Social hazards as one of the dimensions of workplace discrimination are a potential social determinant of health inequalities. The aim of this study was to investigate relations between self-reported health and social hazard characteristics (defined as-discrimination as such, violence or threat of violence, time pressure or work overload and risk of accident) among Vietnamese and Ukrainian migrants (males and females) in Czechia by age, education…
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…
Substance misuse and its risk perception in European teenagers
This paper aims to reveal the relations of risk behavior and its contextual factors, including the perception of risks that substance use may bring. Statistical analysis is based on the data from the European School Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) [2007 ESPAD. 2007. The 2007 ESPAD Report. Stockholm: The Swedish Council for Information on Alcohol and Other Drugs. [Google Scholar]. The 2007 ESPAD Report. Stockholm: The Swedish Council fo…
Socioeconomic inequalities in cause-specific mortality in 15 European cities
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities are increasingly recognised as an important public health issue, although their role in the leading causes of mortality in urban areas in Europe has not been fully evaluated. In this study, we used data from the INEQ-CITIES study to analyse inequalities in cause-specific mortality in 15 European cities at the beginning of the 21st century. METHODS: A cross-sectional ecological study was carried out to analys…
Immigrants’ Access to Health Insurance
The Czech government has identified commercial health insurance as one of the major problems for migrants' access to health care. Non-EU immigrants are eligible for public health insurance only if they have employee status or permanent residency. The present study examined migrants' access to the public health insurance system in Czechia. A cross-sectional survey of 909 immigrants from Ukraine and Vietnam was conducted in March and May 2013, and …
Multiple health risk behaviour in Czech adolescents
Socioeconomic inequalities in injury mortality in small areas of 15 European cities
Smuggled versus Not Smuggled across the Czech Border
The main goal of this paper is to analyze the spatial behavior of unauthorized migrants in their attempts to irregularly cross the Czech state's “green” border (including walking trails) into Austria and Germany, between 2005 and 2007. It demonstrates the importance of select demographic and human characteristics of the migrants, as well as the physical features of the environment, in their crossing. Our main premise concerning the importance of …
The potential impact of a social redistribution of specific risk factors on socioeconomic inequalities in mortality
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic differences in health are a major challenge for public health. However, realistic estimates to what extent they are modifiable are scarce. This problem can be met through the systematic application of the population attributable fraction (PAF) to socioeconomic health inequalities. METHODS: The authors used cause-specific mortality data by educational level from Belgium, Norway and Czech Republic and data on the prevalenc…

Multiple health risk behaviour in Czech adolescents
Les disparités géographiques de la mortalité en Tchécoslovaquie
Le déclin dé la mortalité a été beaucoup moins marqué en Tchécoslovaquie que dans l'ensemble des pays européens depuis le début des années 60. Les niveaux de la mortalité infantile et de la mortalité des plus de 40 ans demeurent en particulier très élevés. Les différences régionales sont complexes. La répartition de la mortalité infantile est par exemple presque inverse de celle de la mortalité au delà de 60 ans. Les facteurs sociaux se révèlent …
