Welcome to the
Mortality atlas of the MEDEA3 Project
This tool shows the main results of the research project entitled “Socioeconomic and environmental inequalities in the geographical distribution of mortality in large Spanish cities (1996-2015): MEDEA3”. The main goal of this project is the study of the geographical distribution of mortality in large Spanish cities, keeping on with the work already developed in the 2 previous editions of this project.
This atlas has been developed by the MEDEA3 research group (see Authors tab), and it has been funded by the PI16/00670, PI16/00755, PI16/01004, PI16/01187, PI16/01273, PI16/01281 y PI18/01313 aids of the Carlos III health institute, and cofunded by the European Regional Development Fund.
