Análise multidimensional entre indicadores de desenvolvimento e incidência de doenças

Abstract

This monograph understands the relationship between development, health and economic indicators. The multidimensional analysis adopted goes beyond traditional health indicators and considers a wide range of factors, including socioeconomic, behavioral and environmental aspects. 5349 municipalities in Brazil were considered and a database with 17 variables for the year 2017. The characterization of the municipalities was carried out through the implementation of two multivariate methods: factor analysis and cluster analysis. The study highlights the relevance of public policies that promote sustainable economic GDP and social equity, recognizing that the health of a nation cannot be assessed in isolation. The results presented in this work highlight the importance of investing in health as a means of boosting economic growth, aiming to improve the living conditions, health, reduction of diseases and well-being of the population. In conclusion, the research highlights the need for a multidimensional approach to addressing health and development issues, providing support for the formulation of strategies that contribute to the progress of society and the economy.
