Spatial differentiation of selected health factors of the South Moravian Region population

Original language description

At present, the demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental determinants of health are considered to be among the main groups of factors influencing the level of health, morbidity and mortality, and also overall quality of life of the respective population. The goal of this paper is to assess the relation of selected population health determinants and their spatial differentiation at the level of districts (LAU 1) in the South Moravian Region (NUTS 3; Czech Republic). To fulfil this objective, a number of methods were applied: (1) construction of composite indicator and cluster analysis; (2) multiple regression; (3) canonical correlation analysis; (4) time series analysis, and (5) data visualization method. Confrontation of the situation in 2006 and 2015 showed improvement of all observed factors at the level of districts of the South Moravian Region and at the same time their greater differentiation. It became evident that the variables with the strongest impact on the mortality structure are of both demographic (weight at birth, aging index) and socioeconomic nature (housing allowances). Deepening knowledge of negative impacts of environmental pollution on human health in conjunction with proven influences of demographic and socioeconomic factors give rise to an increasing appeal to responsible environmental planning and socially and environmentally accountable policy.
