The aim of this thesis is to investigate the factors and the financial impact of comorbidity in Europe. The study uses data from the seventh wave of the SHARE project. The survey was conducted in 2017.
The first chapter analyzes the definition of morbidity. It also analyzes the factors that differentiate morbidity and presents relevant statistics by gender and age in Europe. Finally, the impact of morbidity on the elderly, the economy and the insurance systems are presented.
The second chapter includes the statistical analysis and the descriptive statistics of each variable of the dataset. The results of correlation and independence of variables tests, regarding the main variables of the analysis, are included in this chapter. sThe third chapter presents the method of Logistic Regression and tests of assessing the validity of a Logistic Regression Model. Furthermore, Logistic Regression models are developed to study the impact of financial and other factors on morbidity. The final chapter presents the conclusions drawn from the data analysis as well as recommendations for future research. The results revealed that sex, age,life satisfaction, years of education, financial distress and quality of life(casp) are statistically significant for our model.
