Abstract

The paper aims to find if and in which extent the number of diseases per 100000 persons (hospital discharges) vary by economic development level, type of disease (circulatory system disease, respiratory system disease and digestive system disease) and life style. In the paper we apply the general linear method (GLM) on a data sample of 30 European countries for the year 2010. The health status of the population is expressed by the number of diseases by type of disease, while health determinants are the gross national income (GNI) per capita and the life style factors. We noticed that each of the two factors, the economic development level and the type of disease, has a significant influence on the number of diseases per 1000000 persons. Moreover, the interaction between the two factors has a significant influence on the number of diseases. The number of circulatory system diseases is higher in the countries from the high and upper middle income groups, while the respiratory system diseases are the less frequent in high income group countries.
