Percent differences in amenable mortality associated with urban metrics among women and men in 363 Latin American cities
| Women | Men | |
|---|---|---|
| Population (% difference in mortality for a 50% difference in population in a city with the mean patch density) | –0.6% | 0.1% |
| [–0.5%, 1.6%] | [–0.9%, 1.0%] | |
| Patch density (% difference in mortality for a 1-SD difference in patch density for a city with population 275 000) | –3.4% | –1.7% |
| [–5.9%, –0.7%] | [–4.1%, 0.8%] | |
| Population × patch density | 0.02 | 0.01 |
| [0.000, 0.034] | [–0.004, 0.028] | |
| Growth (% difference in mortality for a 1-SD difference in % growth) | –2.7% | –2.0% |
| [–4.3%, –1.0%] | [–3.5%, –0.4%] | |
| SEI (% difference in mortality for a 1-SD difference in the Socioeconomic Index) | –3.3% | –3.2% |
| [–5.4%, –1.2%] | [–5.2%, –1.2%] |
95% confidence intervals in brackets. Models were run 100 times with the redistributed mortality rates for each city and coefficients were pooled using Rubin's formula. Population size was centred at the median (∼275 000). Models were adjusted for % built up and country. SEI, Socioeconomic Index; SD, standard deviation.
