Decennial Ward-Level Influence of Demographic, Farming, and Economic Predictors on All-Cause Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study has arisen in response to a lack of studies examining how farming affects mortality patterns across areas of Northern Ireland (NI) over a 10-year period. This paper aims to investigate whether agriculturally intensive electoral Wards have higher mortality rates compared to non-agriculturally based Wards, controlling for relevant factors.

Methods

The population census and farm census information was downloaded from the Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Service (NINIS) website to construct two original mortality-based datasets. Linear regression was used for the analysis.

Design

Decennial Ward-Level Influence of Demographic, Farming, and Economic Predictors on All-Cause Mortality.

Setting

Five hundred and eighty-two Ward areas of Northern Irelan
