Descripción
Sumario:• The literature reporting on rural-urban health status disparities remains inconclusive. • We analyzed data from a longitudinal population-based study using individual observations. • Our results show that the risks of all-cause and cancer mortality are greater in large cities than in other municipalities, with no clear urban-rural gradient. • Not differences were found among territories in cardiovascular mortality.
