In the Nordic countries, there are ambitious welfare policies that might reduce rural-urban health disparities.
To investigate the effect of population density on health in four Nordic countries.
The health outcomes analysed were life expectancy and potential years of life lost. The effect of population density was appraised as the difference in life expectancy/ potential years of life lost by a 10-fold increase of population density.
In Finland, Norway and Sweden, mortality rates were consistently higher in less densely populated municipalities. These disparities increased over time. .
在北欧国家,有雄心勃勃的福利政策,可能会缩小城乡健康差距。
研究人口密度对四个北欧国家健康的影响。
分析的健康结果是预期寿命和潜在生命损失年数。人口密度的影响被评估为人口密度增加 10 倍时预期寿命/潜在生命损失年数的差异。
在芬兰、挪威和瑞典,人口密度较低的城市的死亡率一直较高。这些差距随着时间的推移而增加。
