Recent quantitative research on determinants of health in high income countries: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Identifying determinants of health and understanding their role in health production constitutes an important research theme. We aimed to document the state of recent multi-country research on this theme in the literature.

Methods

We followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines to systematically identify, triage and review literature (January 2013-July 2019). We searched for studies that performed cross-national statistical analyses aiming to evaluate the impact of one or more aggregate level determinants on one or more general population health outcomes in high-income countries. To assess in which combinations and to what extent individual (or thematically linked) determinants had been studied together, we performed multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis.
