When analyzing health for some, doctors and researchers take into account data such as age, gender, or socioeconomic factors (education, health, economics). And if on top of that they asked for more Political Views?
New research from the University of Kansas in the United States suggests that such information can be just as important a “social determinant of health” as the examples above, especially in a public health crisis like the one we are facing now.
It should be noted that the survey was conducted in the United States and therefore takes into account the context of political polarization in the country, which led to events such as the invasion of the Capitol by the former president’s voters in early 2021. Donald Trump.
At the same time, the idea that ideologies can influence health decisions is not new. For example, studies have already been conducted on the impact of policy on public opinion about cigarette smoking.
Mugur Geana, lead author of the study, says that research is not intended to defend any ideology or claim that someone is right or wrong. According to a researcher interview with EurekAlert!, The coronavirus pandemic has provided a unique insight into how political ideology can influence behavior.
“This study shows that political commitment and ideology appear to be some of the most important factors influencing health decisions. COVID-19Geana said.
How was the study conducted?
TO study, the authors conducted two studies on ideology and health, as well as an analysis of other articles in this area. In addition to questions about political opinion, respondents answered questions that indicate knowledge of COVID-19, their behavior, and other demographic information.
The respondents also answered where they received information about the pandemic, whether they want to get vaccinated (the study was conducted from October to November 2020), whether they have already contracted the disease and whether they followed recommendations such as wearing masks and social distance.
Analysis of the data from both surveys showed that ideology was an important predictor for all behavioral variables and, in most cases, the strongest.
Finally, the authors reviewed 181 articles on covid-19 and analyzed the results of 44 selected studies on the ideology of health behavior.
Of the 141 assessments out of 44 studies, political ideology was a significant predictor in 112 (79%) and showed the greatest impact on covid-19 measures in almost half of these assessments (44%). No other variable has been the best predictor.
“It was obvious that we expected to see differences in attitudes and behavior based on political commitment, but we wanted to know what impact this has and if our findings reflect other studies,” Geana said.
“In times of crisis such as a pandemic and in a polarized society, ideology is an important determinant of people’s health behavior.”

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!
Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.
Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.
The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.
Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.
The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.
Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.
“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
