The fourth column shows the pure contributions of determinants to the socioeconomic inequality in Ln odds CHE.> A negative concentration index of determinant variables, such as having elderly members in household and absence of commercial health insurance, means that these variables are more concentrated among the worse off, and vice versa.
Inter-reliability of each construct was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and indices of motivational determinants and outcomes were calculated for each survey round.
Along this argument, the operational measures of the two indices of proximal determinants (childhood adversity and labour market disadvantage) can be criticized for their restricted comprehensiveness.
A core set of determinants – wealth index (which incorporates ownership of assets and access to sanitation and drinking water), maternal education and spouse's education – accounts for a very large proportion of the covariate effects in both countries, which suggests that there are no fundamental differences in the socio-economic determinants of child nutrition outcomes in rural and urban areas.
In contrast, the inclusion of one of the two distal determinants, the index of national integration policies, results in a non-significant standard deviation.
This paper shows the extent of regional variation in fertility decline in Kenya and determines the potential role of the proximate determinants in explaining regional patterns of fertility in view of recent work on the calculation of Bongaarts's indices of the proximate determinants.
The concentration index can be expressed as the sum of contributions of determinants (Wagstaff et al. 2003).
Because ventriculoarterial decoupling is an index of cardiovascular inefficiency and a determinant of cardiac energetics, we speculate that such "uncoupled" patients may benefit from therapies aimed at normalizing the Ea/Ees ratio.
Education, amongst other factors (e.g., occupation, intellectual functioning/IQ, stimulating cognitive, and social and physical activities), is considered a determinant and index of CR [ 25, 26].
For all linear regression models, a HOMA index of >1.8 was an independent determinant of longitudinal strain (multiple R 0.601, P = 0.017), longitudinal SR (multiple R 0.561, P = 0.047), and longitudinal diastolic SR (multiple R 0.555, P = 0.049).
Abstract - The Human development Index of the United Nations and other broadly based indices of wellbeing seek to identify and measure a wide range of determinants of the quality of life.
