Social classes also exhibit gradients in mortality across deprivation categories, the corresponding rates in the most deprived category being around twice those in the most affluent areas. The gradients by deprivation category remain after standardizing for differences in social class composition. Within health boards in Scotland populations show only minor variability in terms of social class, while their composition on the dimension of deprivation is markedly diverse, and the classification of populations by the deprivation category of their area of residence appears to offer a superior basis for the explanation of differences in mortality between health boards than does social class. This evidence of area effects supports a proposal for area socioeconomic characteristics to be adopted as key variables in epidemiological analysis, and for an area classification to be designed and incorporated in the 1991 census output for use on a consistent basis.","PeriodicalId":75726,"journal":{"name":"Community medicine","volume":"11 3","pages":"210-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/oxfordjournals.pubmed.a042469","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13747010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have previously reported that mean total and LDL cholesterol were lower in the vegetarians and fish eaters than in the meat eaters, while the mean levels in vegans were lower still. We have examined the possibility that this relationship could be explained by differences in the mean body mass index of the four groups. While there was a small positive relationship between body mass index and plasma lipid levels this did not explain the previously reported difference between diet groups. After adjusting for the effect of body mass index there remained a small negative association between height and plasma lipid levels, which has not previously been reported. Height is known to be influenced by childhood ill health and has also been shown to be related to social class, and it may be that the relationship between plasma lipid levels and height can be explained by these factors.","PeriodicalId":75726,"journal":{"name":"Community medicine","volume":"11 3","pages":"230-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/oxfordjournals.pubmed.a042472","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13748930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
