“…Prior research has indicated that elderly women can expect to spend more per capita than their male counterparts on health care (Cylus et al, 2011). Nine of the fourteen states with higher than average per enrollee Medicare spending had a share of female enrollees higher than the national average (55.4 percent).…”

“…Several of these states had higher-than-average populations of females aged 20 through 44 in 2009, the age group of women most likely to use relatively higher-cost maternity care and who spend 73 percent more on health care than their male counterparts (Cylus, Hartman, Washington, Andrews, & Catlin, 2011). Furthermore, the share of the population who are elderly in these states averaged 14.0 percent in 2009, compared to 11.2 percent for the 10 states with the lowest spending.…”

Principal Findings:In 2009, the 10 states where per capita spending was highest ranged from 13 to 36 percent higher than the national average, and the 10 states where per capita spending was lowest ranged from 8 to 26 percent below the national average. States with the highest per capita spending tended to have older populations and the highest per capita incomes; states with the lowest per capita spending tended to have younger populations, lower per capita incomes, and higher rates of uninsured. Over the last decade, the New England and Mideast regions exhibited the highest per capita personal health care spending, while states in the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions had the lowest per capita spending. Variation in per enrollee Medicaid spending, however, has consistently been greater than that of total per capita personal health care spending or per enrollee Medicare spending from 1998-2009. The Great Lakes, New England, and Far West regions experienced the largest slowdown in per person health spending growth during the recent recession, largely as a result of higher unemployment rates.

“…As a characteristic, gender is one of the most defining facets of one's interaction with the world and affects areas from personal health care expenditures (Cylus et al 2011) to life expectancy (World Health Organization 2012). Separating biological, psychosocial, and socioeconomic effects of gender presents nearly as great a challenge as identifying all those effects (Cherepanov et al 2010).…”

Males have traditionally been more active Internet users than females; however, research indicates females are more likely to seek health information online. This meta-analysis explores the disparity, the role of age and relationship status, and strategies to improve communication. Results indicate differences are less marked than singular studies suggest. Further, males and females are more likely to use the Internet than other resources to find health information; next, they most often seek information from other individuals rather than from impersonal resources. Findings support increasing focus on development of resources that use evolving capabilities for health information personalization while protecting privacy.

“…showed that in 2010 males occupied 90% of the blue-collar jobs (9). Secondly, health-care utilization among single females, and females of all ages, is relatively higher than for single males and has been consistently documented in a number of studies (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). The primary independent variables included the age groups, and the female population of each country.…”

Adjustment factors to per capita health-care indicators in countries with expatriate male-majority populations

From 2000 to 2010, the population in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries underwent an increase of 53%, compared with an average global increase of 13%. The rates varied by country, ranging from 23% in Oman to 198% in Qatar. The main driving force for this sharp increase in population was the high demand for immigrant labour. The aim of this study was to adjust the population in the GCC countries in order to ensure that the comparisons of health-care key performance indicators with other countries account for the composition of the populations. The conclusion of the study was that adjusting the population in the GCC is instrumental for determining health spending and health outcomes, and that inaccurate forecasting would result in serious overestimation of the need for GCC countries to invest in the health-care sector. Policy-makers can utilize the population models in this study to accurately plan for health-care delivery. 1Dubai Health Authority, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Correspondence to: altijani@gmail.com; ahussin@dha.gov.ae
