Geographical Regularities in the Worldwide Diffusion of Natural-Endemic Diseases

2005 
catalaEn aquest treball sobre la geografia de la salut es posa especial atencio sobre les regularitats i influencies de la salut de la poblacio segons la seva condicio social i la seva naturalesa. Es possible argumentar que adhuc amb potencials accions profilactiques les solucions poden no tenir exit si no es tenen en compte les diferencies espacials de cada malaltia. L’objectiu d’aquestes investigacions es examinar la diversitat geografica de les malalties naturals endemiques arreu del mon en el si dels seus ecosistemes naturals. L’analisi es focalitza en l’estudi de 34 malalties, en les quals actuen parasits que conviuen de forma natural en els ecosistemes. El treball proposa algunes aproximacions a l’estudi d’aquestes diferencies espacials en les quals s’analitzen i contrasten els distints nivells de salut per a cada malaltia relacionada amb el seu ambient caracteristic. EnglishAt present, medical geography pays considerable attention to the study of regularities in the influence of natural and social conditions on the health of the population. It is possible to argue that even potentially effective prophylactic arrangements will not be successful if they do not take into account data on spatial differences in the spread of diseases. The aim of this investigation is to examine diversity in the geography of natural-endemic diseases across the world on the basis of a special database. The analysis focuses on the spread of 34 diseases, the parasitic systems of which are members of natural ecosystems. The paper proposes some approaches to the study of spatial differentiation which can be used for the analysis of contrasting health levels for different diseases and related environmental characteristics.
