Spatial distribution for diarrhea hospitalization in São Paulo State

“…Nevertheless, it is a widely used indicator for measuring the quality of life. 26 The fact that the Kernel maps do not coincide among the variables and the hospitalization rates due to diarrhea can be explained by the fact that this study only evaluates hospitalizations due to diarrhea, considering only the most severe cases. This does not mean that the occurrence of diarrhea, either untreated and treated as outpatients may not be more prevalent in areas with high Gini index, low IDH, high proportion of mothers with incomplete elementary schooling, and high percentage of children living with an income less than ½ minimum wage Oliveira and Latorre 27 identified a reduction in the tendency of hospitalizations and deaths due to diarrhea in children under one year of age from 1995 to 2005 in Brazil and especially in 13 capitals; Meneguesi et al 28 in a 10 year study (2003 to 2012) in Brasilia, DF also observed a reduction in morbidity and mortality in children under 10 years of age with a great reduction in the under 1 year old age group.…”

Proposal of methodology for spatial analysis applied to human development index in water basins

“…Another counterpoint of the HDI is that can be calculated at different population scales: countries, states, municipalities, districts, neighborhoods, and even census tracts, giving more accuracy at the data according to the scale (Abreu et al 2011;Haddad 2013). Census tract is defined as the smallest territorial unit with identifiable physical limits in field and a size suitable for research activities.…”

“…To consider the regional dynamics of an urban or rural area, the census tract is the most adequate scale. Then, the data of households and people used for drawing a picture of an entire demographic census are grouped by census tracts (Abreu et al 2011;IBGE 2010).…”

“…In order to carry out an HDI distribution within a given area from census data, a scientific instrument capable of evaluating population statistics is used via spatial analysis. The Geographic Information System (GIS) allows quantitative geographic analyses of the dynamics of variables (Abreu et al 2011).…”

“…Furthermore, another limitation of composite index, is that some indicator which mold the index, doesn't reflect the real situation evaluated (Kovacevic 2011). However, according to Abreu et al (2011) and Haddad (2013) an important counterpoint is that HDI can be calculated at different population scales bringing more precision on the data.…”
