Abstract

Rees P. and Brown D. (2006) Trends in local and small area mortality and morbidity in Yorkshire and the Humber: monitoring health inequalities, Regional Studies 40, 437-458. The paper investigates mortality and morbidity in the 1990s in Yorkshire and the Humber. Mortality for districts and wards is computed and the inequality between areas estimated. The results show that although mortality decreased between 1990-92 and 1996-98, only a few districts and wards improved relative to England and Wales. Inequalities between wards sorted by deprivation quintiles increased over the period. By contrast, self-reported morbidity increased between 1991 and 2001, but inequalities decreased. The paper discusses interpretations of these trends and the spatial patterns for men and women and for children, adults and the retired. Rees P. et Brown D. (2006) Les tendances de mortalite et de morbidite sur le plan local dans le Yorkshire et dans le Humberside: faire le suivi des inegalites de sante, Regional Studies 40, 1534-1535. Cet article cherche a examiner la mortalite et la morbidite dans les annees 1990 dans le Yorkshire et dans le Humberside. On calcule la mortalite pour les districts et les circonscriptions electorales, et on evalue l'ecart interregional. Les resultats laissent voir que rares sont les districts et les circonscriptions electorales qui ont fait des progres par rapport a l'Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, bien que la mortalite soit a la baisse entre 1990 et 1992, et de 1996 a 1998. Sur toute la periode, les inegalites au niveau des circonscriptions electorales classees en fonction des quintiles de privation ont augmente. Par contraste, la morbidite est a la hausse entre 1991 et 2001, tandis que les inegalites sont a la baisse. Cet article cherche a discuter des interpretations de ces tendances-la et des distributions geographiques pour les hommes et pour les femmes, et pour les enfants, adultes et retraites.

(2006) Verlauf von Sterblichkeit und Morbiditat in Gemeinden und kleinen Gebieten in Yorkshire und der Humbergegend: Uberwachung ber Gesundsheitsungleichheiten, Regional Studies 40, 437-458. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht Sterblichkeit und Morbiditat in Yorkshire und der Humbergegend in den neunziger Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts. Sterblichkeit in Distrikten und Bezirken wird errechnet und Ungleichheit zwischen den Gebieten geschatzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass im Verhaltnis zu England und Wales nur wenige Distrikte Verbesserungen aufweisen, obschon die Sterblichkeit zwischen 1990-1992 und 1996-1998 abnahm. Nach Quintalen sortierte Mangelunterschiede zwischen Stadtteilen nahmen in dem Zeitraum zu. Im Gegensatz dazu nahmen eigene Krankmeldungen im Zeitraum zwischen 1991 und 2001 zu, doch die Unterschiede wurden geringer. Der Aufsatz diskutiert Interpretationen dieser Tendenzen, sowie die raumlichen Muster bei Mannern und Frauen, und bei Kindern, Erwachsenen und Rentnern.

(2006) Tendencias de mortalidad y morbilidad en pequenas zonas de Yorkshire y Humber: Control de las desigualdades en la salud, Regional Studies 40, 437-458. En este articulo analizamos la mortalidad y la morbilidad de la decada de los noventa en las regiones de Yorkshire y Humber. Mediante un computo de la mortalidad para los distritos y municipios valoramos la desigualdad entre las diferentes areas. Los resultados indican que, si bien la mortalidad disminuyo entre 1990-92 y 1996-98, solo unos cuantos municipios y regiones mostraron una mejora en comparacion con Inglaterra y Gales. Las desigualdades entre municipios y distritos clasificados en funcion de las carencias aumentaron durante este periodo. Al mismo tiempo, los casos de morbilidad informados por los mismos enfermos aumentaron entre 1991 y 2001, pero las desigualdades disminuyeron. En este ensayo analizamos las interpretaciones de estas tendencias y los modelos espaciales para hombres y mujeres y para ninos, adultos y jubilados.
