We analyzed data from a longitudinal population-based study using individual observations. Our results show that the risks of all-cause and cancer mortality are greater in large cities than in other municipalities, with no clear urban-rural gradient. Not differences were found among territories in cardiovascular mortality.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Cardiovascular diseaseCancerMortalitySpainRural-urban gradients and all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality in Spain using individual dataAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional361884191910123210.1016/j.ssmph.2022.101232SSM - population healthopen access
