Growing Inequities in Median Age of Death and Obesity Prevalence Between Australian Major Cities and Remote Areas: A National, Longitudinal, Spatial Analysis

Geographic disparities were apparent in obesity prevalence and median age of death, as well as increasing inequities in both median age of death and obesity prevalence among Australian major cities, regional and remote areas. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted public health interventions, particularly in regional and remote areas, to address Australia's growing health inequities.

Abstract

Geographic disparities were apparent in obesity prevalence and median age of death, as well as increasing inequities in both median age of death and obesity prevalence among Australian major cities, regional and remote areas. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted public health interventions, particularly in regional and remote areas, to address Australia's growing health inequities.
