After nearly a quarter-century of declining poverty, the numbers are rising again significantly. This is due not only to effects of climate change but also to the COVID-19 pandemics and armed conflict. Combined with the enormous health impacts, that will cause misery and health care costs worldwide. Therefore, this study provides background information on the global research landscape on poverty and health to help researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers determine the best way to address this threat.
The USA is the key player, dealing mainly with domestic issues. European countries are also involved but tend to be more internationally oriented. Developing countries are underrepresented, with Nigeria standing out. A positive correlation was found between publication numbers and economic strength, while the relationship between article numbers and multidimensional poverty was negatively correlated.
These findings highlight the need for advanced networking and the benefits of cross-disciplinary research to mitigate the coming impacts.
在经历了近四分之一个世纪的贫困率下降之后,贫困人口数量再次显著上升。这不仅是由于气候变化的影响,还由于 COVID-19 大流行和武装冲突的影响。这些影响与巨大的健康影响相结合,将在全球范围内造成痛苦和医疗保健成本。因此,本研究提供了有关贫困与健康全球研究格局的背景信息,以帮助研究人员、利益相关者和政策制定者确定应对这一威胁的最佳方法。
美国是主要参与者,主要处理国内问题。欧洲国家也参与其中,但往往更侧重于国际问题。发展中国家的代表性不足,尼日利亚尤为突出。研究发现,出版物数量与经济实力呈正相关,而文章数量与多维贫困呈负相关。
这些发现强调了先进网络的必要性和跨学科研究的好处,以减轻即将到来的影响。
