Additional insights from our study are: (1) heterogeneous spatial arrangement of neighborhoods is a necessary condition for simulating observed disparities in the burden of influenza and (2) unmeasured factors may lead to a better quantitative match between simulated and observed rate ratio in the burden of influenza between the most and least socially deprived populations.
The observed disparities in cell activity and microenvironment were characterized in terms of cell phenotype, new ECM components synthesis, and the expression of transmembrane receptors implicated in cell-ECM, cell-cell adhesion and cell differentiation.
Culturally appropriate targeted interventions are required to reduce observed disparities in cancer screening uptakes.
Gaskin et al, found that age and health status do not fully explain observed disparities in prescription drug use [ 8].
These differences in care may explain previously observed disparities in outcome between neuro-ICUs and general-ICUs.
However, emerging evidence suggests that insurance and access to care alone do not entirely explain observed disparities [ 48, 49].
The observed disparities in global mesothelioma trends likely relate to country-to-country disparities in asbestos use trends.
Empirical evidence does not support the notion that cultural preferences explain observed disparities in tree cover (Martin et al. 2004; Zhang et al. 2007).
Ethical questions regarding resource allocation with respect to gender remain theoretical while the mechanisms underlying the observed disparities are not understood.
Adolescents, in particular, are a group to target strategically when aiming to reduce observed disparities in food habits from a global public health perspective.
Second, observed disparities in cancer outcomes among racial and ethnic minorities can reflect obstacles to receiving health care services, including prevention, early detection, and high quality treatment [ 1].
