Dimension-independent Harnack inequalities are derived for a class of subordinate semigroups. In particular, for a diffusion satisfying the BakryEmery curvature condition, the subordinate semigroup with power α satisfies a dimension-free Harnack inequality provided α ∈ ` 1 2 , 1 ́ , and it satisfies the log-Harnack inequality for all α ∈ (0, 1). Some infinite-dimensional examples are also presen...

DESIGN Cross sectional study, using health data obtained by physical examination, laboratory analysis, and self report. SETTING A large pre-paid heal...

The direction and magnitude of sex differences in health vary according to the particular health condition and phase of the life cycle. In examining gender differences in health it is necessary to assess the contribution made by the particular characteristics of women and men, for example, wealth, health behaviours, and the distribution of labour both inside and outside of the home. Socioeconom...
