Abstract Background Public health recognizes that health conditions depend on factors related to the development patterns income distribution, degree of poverty, working conditions, among other social determinants. The objective of this study was to analyze the association of maternal mortality with the Human Development Index (HDI), Gini Index, Income per capita, and the Social Vulnerability. Method The study analyzed the relationship between MMR and socioeconomic indicators in the 26 federative units and the Federal District of Brazil, in 2017. The socioeconomic indicators used in the study were: HDI, Gini Index, Income per capita, and SVI. Crude and adjusted linear regression were performed between maternal mortality and socioeconomic indicators. Results When analyzing which socioeconomic determinants that are related to maternal mortality ratio rates, a higher per capita income positive effect was observed for lower MMR (β = − 150.8; CI 95% -289.9 to − 11.7; r2 = 0.17; p = 0.035), as well as a trend of higher MMR in relation to the SVI (β = 97.7; CI 95% -12.2 to 207.6; r2 = 0.12; p = 0.079). In model found by the stepwise forward selections, only the per capita income was um index related to less RMM (β = − 0.02; CI 95% -0.05 to − 0.002; r2 = 0.15; p = 0.028). Conclusion The findings showed that the per capita income has a negative association MMR in the different states of Brazil, but seems canceled because of the other socioeconomic determinants related to the poor live conditions.

The objective of this ecological study was to investigate the association between caries experience in 5- and 12-year-old Brazilian children in 2010 and household sugar procurement in 2003 and the effects of exposure to water fluoridation and socioeconomic indicators. Sample units were all 27 Brazilian capital cities. Data were obtained from the National Surveys of Oral Health; the National Household Food Budget Survey; and the United Nations Program for Development. Data analysis included correlation coefficients, exploratory factor analysis, and linear regression. There were significant negative associations between caries experience and procurement of confectionery, fluoridated water, HDI, and per capita income. Procurement of confectionery and soft drinks was positively associated with HDI and per capita income. Exploratory factor analysis grouped the independent variables by reducing highly correlated variables into two uncorrelated component variables that explained 86.1% of total variance. The first component included income, HDI, water fluoridation, and procurement of confectionery, while the second included free sugar and procurement of soft drinks. Multiple regression analysis showed that caries is associated with the first component. Caries experience was associated with better socioeconomic indicators of a city and exposure to fluoridated water, which may affect the impact of sugars on the disease.

A desigualdade de renda tende a diminuir em municípios com elevada desigualdade e a aumentar naqueles com baixa desigualdade? Este trabalho tenta responder a essa questão ao verificar se existiu convergência da desigualdade de renda entreos municípios cearenses, nos anos 1991 e 2000. A principal medida de desigualdade de renda utilizada foi o índice de Gini, sendoos testes de convergência realizados por meio de modelos com efeito threshold, nos quais as variáveis concernentes ao índice deGini, à renda per capita e aos anos de estudo, medidas no período inicial, foram consideradas como possíveis variáveis threshold. Os resultados permitiram rejeitar a hipótese de clubes de convergência da desigualdade de renda entre os municípios cearenses. Noentanto, não se pode rejeitar a hipótese de convergência condicional da desigualdade de renda entre os mesmos, sendo que eles estariam convergindo para um valor médio de equilíbrio de desigualdade de renda maior, ou seja, os municípios cearenses estariam tornando-se mais concentradores de renda per capita. Palavras-chave: Desigualdade de renda, Índice de Gini, efeitos Threshold.EMPIRICAL EVIDENCES ABOUT THE CONVERGENCE OF INCOME INEQUALITY AMONG CITIES FROM CEARAAbstract: The income inequality tends to decrease in municipalities with high inequality and increase in those with low inequality? This paper intends to answer this question by checking if there was convergence of income inequality in the municipalities of the State of Ceará, in the years 1991 and 2000. The main measurement of income inequality used was the Gini index, with the convergencetests conducted through models with threshold effect, in which the variables relating to the Gini index, to the per capita income and to the years of study were considered, measured in the initial period as possible threshold variables. The results allowed rejectingthe hypothesis of convergence clubs of the per capita income inequality among the cities from Ceará. However there is no way to reject the hypothesis of conditional convergence of the income inequality in the municipalities among the same, where these would be converging to an average value of the bigger income inequality, that is, they would be turning themselves into more per capita income-concentrating municipalities.Key words: Income inequality, Gini Index, Threshold effect.

China as a country became the economic center of the world. However, with a population of 1.3 billion, China's per capita income is still at number 80 in the world. In the world, considering the imbalance between town and country with 100 million people still living in poverty. Thus, to address this imbalance, it is necessary to study the condition in depth, because income per capita is often used as a benchmark to measure the prosperity of a country. With greater and equitable income per capita, the country will be judged increasingly affluent. Two factors, mainly industry and tourism, play an important role in the economic progress in China. These are include Per capita Disposable Income Nationwide (yuan), Total Value of Exports of operating units (1,000 USD), Registered Unemployed Person in Urban Area (10000 person), Foreign Exchange Earning from International tourism(in millions USD) and Number of Overseas Visitor Arrivals (million person/time). Thus, it is necessary to investigate the influence of these factors to increase per capita income. Since the economic development of a region usually affect the surrounding area, this study aims to include spatial effects, using Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) Model. The results suggest that the per capita income affected by the Tourism factor is about 58.65% (R-squared).
