Composite health vulnerability index

1. Local development is associated with composite health vulnerability index in humans (Bivariate Moran’s I = −0.174).

   “The negative bivariate Moran’s I (− 0.174, p < 0.05) indicated overall spatial dissimilarity between health vulnerability and local development.”

More on Local development

1. Composite health vulnerability index is associated with provincial spatial clustering in humans (Global Moran’s I = 0.261).

   “Global Moran’s I was 0.261 (p = 0.002), indicating significant spatial autocorrelation.”
