The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial behavior of the prevalence of asthma in Aragon, a Mediterranean region in Spain, under the DH approach. The methodological process entailed building a spatial database collating asthma prevalence as dependent variable, and lifestyle, socioeconomic, and climate indicators as explanatory factors, and then evaluating the spatial variability of the relationships by combining the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) models and cartographic design techniques. MGWR evidenced spatially varying relationships operating at different scales. Lifestyles seem closely tied to the prevalence of asthma in most of the study area while urban functionality and local climate patterns seem to boost prevalence rates in some specific enclaves. Consequently, the social and environmental conditions that characterize the study area translate into several DH scenarios modulating the spatial distribution of asthma. This differential DH behavior detected by local regression models is relevant to guiding and refining public health decision‐making. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.3 2023 GEOGRAPHY 19 / 172 = 0.11 2023 Q1 T1 1.075 2023 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q1 Earth-Surface Processes 2023 Q1 8.7 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Rodrigues, Marcos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0477-0796 Llorente González, José María Sebastián Ariño, Antonio (orcid)0000-0002-4764-9531 Zuil Martínez, Marcos Zúñiga-Antón, María Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9541-5609 3006 435 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
