En este artículo se estudia el impacto de un conjunto de variables sobre la percepción del estado de salud de los individuos en las regiones que establece la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida (ECV), realizada por el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas, DANE, en 2003. En el trabajo econométrico se utilizaron modelos Probit ordenados donde las variables adoptadas denotan diferentes factores socioeconómicos, demográficos, institucionales y familiares. El análisis por regiones sirvió para probar que existen elementos locales o regionales que hacen que el impacto de los factores que inciden en las condiciones de salud de los individuos difiera de una región a otra.
Palabras clave: determinantes de la salud, seguridad social en salud, modelo probit ordenado, economía de la salud, región. Clasificación JEL: I11, I12, C25.
Abstract:
In this article the impact of a set of variables over the perception of individuals’ health state in the regions established by the National Life Quality Survey (ECV) performed by the Administrative National Department of Statistics (DANE) in 2003 is studied. The variables denote socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of individuals, institutional characteristics of the health system, and household characteristics. The econometric exercise is based on the use of ordered probit models for the determination of such impact. The analysis by regions was useful to prove the existence of local or regional elements that make the impact of the factors that impinge on the health conditions of people to differ from region to region.
Keywords: health determinants, social security in health, ordered probit models, health economics, region. JEL classification: I11, I12, C25.
Résumé:
Cet article étudie l’impact d’un ensemble de variables socio-économiques sur la santé des individus. Pour amener à bien cette étude, nous utilisons la classification des régions établit par l’Enquête Nationale de Qualité de Vie (ECV), réalisée en 2003 par le Département Administratif National de Statistique -DANE. Nous utilisons dans le travail économétrique des modèles Probit Ordonnés dont les variables adoptées contiennent différents facteurs socio-économiques, démographiques, institutionnels et familiaux. L’analyse prouve que ces facteurs expliquant la santé des individus diffère entre les régions.
