Despite advances in treatment modalities, the evolving burden and risk factor profiles of head and neck cancer may contribute to escalating health inequalities. The primary objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the degree of SDI-related health inequalities in head and neck cancer and to analyze the evolution of these health inequality trends between 1992 and 2021.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using Global Burden of Disease 2021 data, we extracted disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), DALY rates and age-standardized DALY rates (ASDR) for HNC and its five subtypes across 204 countries/territories (1992-2021). Temporal trends stratified by sex and Sociodemographic Index (SDI) levels were assessed using estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) modeling. Socioeconomic health inequalities were further measured through complementary metrics: the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index (CIX).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>From 1992 to 2021, the global ASDR for HNC declined from 228.1 to 179.37 per 100,000 (EAPC: -0.95, 95% CI: -1.05 to -0.84). The low-middle SDI region exhibited the highest ASDR (294.46 per 100,000), while the high SDI region recorded the lowest ASDR (107.97 per 100,000). The CIX indicated a progressive deterioration, decreasing from - 0.11 (95% CI: -0.15 to -0.08). in 1992 to -0.16 (95% CI: -0.22 to -0.11) in 2021. The inequality was particularly pronounced among females, where CIX values decreased from - 0.21 (95% CI: -0.25 to -0.17) to -0.24 (95% CI: -0.30 to -0.17) during the same period, consistently remaining at a relatively high level.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The persistent and widening inequalities in HNC, particularly those affecting females and low SDI regions, call for equitable global governance. particularly affecting females and low-SDI regions, necessitate equitable global governance. Addressing this issue necessitates the establishment of robust data systems, the implementation of gender- and region-specific interventions, the bridging of technological and resource gaps, and enhanced cross-sectoral collaboration. This integrated approach is essential for disrupting the low-SDI/high-burden cycle and promoting health equity as a fundamental right.</p>","PeriodicalId":46936,"journal":{"name":"Health Economics Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"84"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145309605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potential and limitations in the case of Oslo","authors":"Rebecca Cavicchia, Roberta Cucca","doi":"10.1177/00420980251372728","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00420980251372728","url":null,"abstract":"Urban densification is widely regarded as a key strategy for promoting sustainability and fostering social diversity in cities. While it has often been advocated as a means to enhance social mix, research indicates that, without effective housing policies and regulations, it can instead drive up rents and property prices, leading to displacement and exclusionary pressures. In Oslo, the case study of this investigation, densification has been the primary development strategy, particularly in the historically less affluent eastern districts, where former industrial sites have been transformed into residential areas. We argue that when densification occurs within a fully deregulated housing system and is primarily driven by private developers and speculative investment, it tends to create conditions that facilitate exclusionary dynamics. However, the possible social implications can be different depending on the location of densification interventions. By analyzing census-tract level data on tenure structure, household typology, country background, education level, age structure, and income, we explore whether newly developed densification areas in Oslo exhibit a more homogeneous or socially mixed profile across the eastern and western parts of the city. Findings suggest that while densification areas in the east side of the city support gentrification dynamics, those in the west seem to rather have de-segregating effects.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145295988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is paucity of empirical evidence from research on how corruption affects different population groups when they seek healthcare services from formal healthcare facilities. The paper presents new evidence on how informal payments, which is a major form of corruption, affect health-seeking behaviour people and how household economic status has sustained it in Nigeria.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We used a pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire to conduct interviews in 1,652 households in Enugu and Kano states, in the south and north of Nigeria, respectively.

Household economic status determines the likelihood of paying informally, with richer ones paying more (p < 0.05).
