Measuring social vulnerability in communities and its association with leprosy burden through spatial intelligence in central West Brazil to guide strategic actions
There was a spatial association between leprosy cases and territories with low MHDI, having a percentage of the population without schooling and/or with low income. The study advances knowledge by presenting characteristics of territories most affected by leprosy, verifying the spatial correlation of the disease with the recurrent socioeconomic characteristics in these territories.
