The protective effects of civic communities against all-cause mortality
چکیده انگلیسی

This study integrates the civic community framework from sociology into ecological research on mortality rates. The main hypothesis is that communities with high levels of civic engagement, a strong institutional infrastructure for civic participation, and a vibrant entrepreneurial economic climate should have lower rates of all-cause mortality. The analysis drew on data from the CDC WONDER system database for all counties in the US. The results from weighted least squares analysis of county level all-cause mortality rates age-adjusted to the 2000 population provide substantial support for the civic community perspective. Net of a range of important control variables, civically strong communities exhibit significantly lower rates of all-cause mortality.
