Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Urban - Rural Inequalities In Adult Health: Global Evidence From 167 Countries Uppsala University, Sweden Urbanisation is transforming population health, yet globally comparable evidence on adult health differences between urban and rural areas remains limited. We analysed repeated cross-sectional data from the Gallup World Poll (2006–2023), covering 2.4 million adults in 167 countries. Using weighted linear probability models, we compared self-reported health within country and year. Across most countries, urban residents reported better health than rural residents, with a consistent gradient from rural areas to villages, suburbs, and large cities. The positive urban–rural gap appeared across demographic and national contexts and persisted within income quartiles, although income–health gradients within places were larger. The gap widened over time and was only modestly reduced after adjusting for age, education, and income. These findings indicate a durable spatial health gradient alongside substantial socioeconomic inequality within settlements.
