Regional health inequalities, particularly in all-cause mortality and heart disease, increased between northern and southern Manitoba from 1985-1999. This study introduces a framework to analyze geographic health differences over time.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Biostatistics
  • Health Geography

Background:

  • Assessing changes in regional health disparities over time is crucial for public health.
  • Existing methods may not adequately capture temporal trends in geographically localized health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a statistical framework for analyzing mortality differences in small geographical areas over time.
  • To determine if regional health inequalities in Manitoba have changed between 1985 and 1999.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Poisson regression model for correlated data, incorporating demographic, geographic, and temporal variables.
  • Employed linear contrasts to test for significant differences in mortality between regions and over time.
  • Applied the framework to mortality data from rural Manitoba, Canada (1985-1999).

Main Results:

  • Observed a significant increase in the disparity of all-cause mortality and heart disease mortality risk between northern and southern Manitoba regions.
  • The identified increase in inequality was evident when comparing the 1985-1989 and 1995-1999 periods.
  • No significant temporal changes in mortality inequalities were found for cancer, injury, or respiratory diseases.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework effectively tests hypotheses regarding regional and temporal variations in health outcomes.
  • The methodology is adaptable for analyzing other population health indicators beyond mortality.
