A few applications in health policy have been presented up to now in Italy by the geographical studies in mortality inequalities. But geographers have some information to give to the health authority of how it is possible to lower the unbalance in mortality between Northern and Southern Italy. An unbalance like this concerns the different types of deceases, which are predominant in each of these geographical areas. The Southern regions are affected by a general mortality of 8,0 to 9,5 per thousand, whilst the Northern regions have a general mortality of 9,5 to 12,5 per thousand. Some inequalities which derive from geographical factors like the different quality and patterns of life can be lowered with an adequate health policy
