Relationship between the human development index and its components with oral cancer in Latin America
Open accessAbstract
To evaluate the relationship between the Human Development Index (HDI) and its components with oral cancer (OC) in Latin America.Ecological study in 20 Latin American countries in 2010 and 2017, which evaluated the relationship between the Age-Standardized Rates (ASRs) of incidence and mortality from oral cancer and the following indicators: HDI, with its components (income, education, and health indexes); and the Gini and Theil-L indexes.Among the countries with the highest HDI, men from Brazil and Cuba had the highest incidence and mortality ASRs per 100,000 inhabitants (ASR incidence >7.5 and mortality >4.5).Among those with the lowest HDI, Haiti was the most affected country (ASR incidence >4.1 and mortality >3.0).The highest male:female ratio was in Paraguay in both years (incidence >3.5 and mortality >4.0).Mortality from oral cancer is negatively related to the global HDI in both years, with regression coefficients (95% confidence interval) being -5.78 (-11.77,0.20) in 2010 and -5.97 (-11.38,-0.56) in 2017; and separate (independent) from the income [-4.57(-9.92, 0.77) in 2010 and -4.84 (-9.52, -0.17) in 2017] and health indexes [-5.81 (-11.10,-0.52) and -6.52 (-11.32,-1.72) in 2017] (p < 0.05) in the countries with lower HDI.Oral cancer incidence and mortality rates vary both among and within Latin American countries according to sex, with a greater burden on men.The HDI is negatively related to mortality from oral cancer in the countries of medium and low HDI.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
