Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between unemployment rates, healthcare spending, and stomach cancer mortality in 25 EU countries from 1981 to 2009.
- A rise in unemployment by 1% significantly increased stomach cancer deaths for both men and women, while a similar increase in public-sector healthcare spending correlated with a decrease in mortality rates.
- The results suggest that boosting employment and healthcare funding could mitigate higher stomach cancer mortality during economic challenges.
