Abstract

Background: During the last decades, there has been a great interest on the link between macroeconomic conditions and health. More precisely, many studies had studied as health outcome cardiovascular disease mortality, focusing in different countries, determinants, and using numerous econometric techniques. Due to its importance, in this paper, we analyse cardiovascular disease mortality across the 17 Spanish regions over the period 2002-2019.

Methods: In doing so, we estimated several panel data models considering differences by sub-periods of time while also considering gender differences. That is, we transmit a difference on previous evidence by considering a longer period of time and different explanatory factors, so we provide new highlights for Spain.

Results: Our empirical results show that: (i) both socioeconomic and environmental factors have a significant importance; (ii) political factors appear not to be significant; and (iii) there exists a Mediterranean (macro-region) cardiovascular disease mortality pattern.

Conclusions: These results may have usefulness for cardiovascular disease mortality prevention in Spain.

心血管疾病死亡率和经济发展之间的关系是什么？来自西班牙的新证据。

背景：在过去几十年中，人们对宏观经济条件与健康之间的联系非常感兴趣。更准确地说，许多研究将心血管疾病死亡率作为健康结果进行了研究，重点放在不同的国家、决定因素，并使用了许多计量经济学技术。由于其重要性，在本文中，我们分析了2002年至2019年期间西班牙17个地区的心血管疾病死亡率。方法：在这样做的过程中，我们估计了几个考虑子时期差异的面板数据模型，同时也考虑了性别差异。也就是说，我们通过考虑更长的时间和不同的解释因素，传递了对先前证据的差异，从而为西班牙提供了新的亮点。结果：实证结果表明：(1)社会经济因素和环境因素都具有显著的重要性；政治因素似乎不重要；（三）存在地中海（大区域）心血管疾病死亡模式。结论：这些结果可能对西班牙心血管疾病死亡率的预防有用。
