Concentration and geospatial modelling of Health Development Offices’ accessibility for the total and elderly populations in Hungary

The examination of geocoordinates through scatter plots indicated a broad spectrum of dispersion, and the placement of HDOs on the map revealed a star topology. From the findings of our research, it can be concluded that the Hungarian network of Health Development Offices (N = 108) can meet the preventive health needs of both the general and the elderly population. Enhancing the geographical spread of HDOs is crucial for improving the accessibility and effectiveness of disease prevention strategies, especially among Hungary's aging population, thereby contributing to a more equitable health service landscape.

Abstract

The examination of geocoordinates through scatter plots indicated a broad spectrum of dispersion, and the placement of HDOs on the map revealed a star topology. From the findings of our research, it can be concluded that the Hungarian network of Health Development Offices (N = 108) can meet the preventive health needs of both the general and the elderly population. Enhancing the geographical spread of HDOs is crucial for improving the accessibility and effectiveness of disease prevention strategies, especially among Hungary's aging population, thereby contributing to a more equitable health service landscape.
