Principal component analysis identified eight key factors influencing Spanish regional health, primarily driven by socioeconomic background. These factors explained 90% of the health indicator data.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Biostatistics
  • Regional Health Analysis

Context:

  • Analysis of 28 health indicators across Spanish regions from 1980-1988.
  • Focus on mortality, morbidity, diseases, diet, and resources.

Purpose:

  • To identify latent factors beyond health indicators in Spanish regions.
  • To reduce data dimensionality using principal component analysis.

Summary:

  • Principal component analysis extracted eight factors, explaining 90% of the data variance.
  • Key factors identified include sanitary resources, diet, mortality, and chronic/accidental diseases.
  • The primary driver behind variable groupings is the socioeconomic background.
