Abstract

Objective: Territoriality is configured as an important axis of inequality. The objective of this study was to determine the level of association between territory and vulnerability, specifying proposals for territorial intervention using key socio-health indicators.<br />Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, which combined the analysis of the Health Survey Madrid City 2017 (n=9,513) and the vulnerability-ranking indicator of the same year (n=2,780,197), popu-lation of the city of Madrid in 2017, from the Data Bank of the Madrid City Council), prepared with the hierarchical analysis technique. Sociodemographic and health variables were included, such as self-perception of health status, quality of life in relation to health, tobacco consumption, alcohol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and mental health (GHQ-12). The relationships were assessed with DE, 95% CI, Spearman correlation, B and β coefficients of multiple linear regression and the pair-point technique.<br />Results: The links between health and vulnerability were: in health-self-perceived and HRQL, as global health variables, p<0.01 for women with territory and vulnerability; sedentary lifestyle for both sexes, was interpreted with 60-80% by territory and vulnerability; obesity was slightly linked to the te-ritory in women and explained 77%; mental health was not territorially related for the group, but it was significantly related to women, due to 64% of the variance; in tobacco there was a significant territorial link in men and vulnerability in 57%; finally, alcohol had a significant difference in men at the territorial level and explained in 72% in both sexes, inverted.<br />Conclusions: The results support the behavior of global and specific health indicators with vulnerability, with a disaggregation by sex, which will allow planning adapted to the territory.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.
