Summary: | The goal of the presented research was to test the spatial autocorrelation of the life expectancy and the age-standardized mortality rates for selected causes of death in Poland according to gender in 2010. It was assumed that in the above mentioned cases the positive spatial autocorrelation in populations of men and women appears, and the spatial diversity of mortality depends on the standard of living of the population in question and on the level of industrialization of the region and its consequences. It has been stated that most of the considered coefficients show positive spatial autocorrelation, but differences between populations of men and women were observed. Agricultural capacity of the voivodeship shows positive effect on life expectancy and the level of some of the mortality rates of both genders. |
