It investigates the associations between various personal characteristics as established at the interview and the probability of survival during a ten year follow-up period. Smoking was the most important factor of those measured in determining the likelihood of survival. Smokers at the time of the interview had a mortality risk, on average, 78 per cent greater than non-smokers. Non-drinkers and those who had less than one unit of alcohol per week at the time of the interview appeared to have a higher mortality risk than those who drank between one unit and the recommended government maximum per week. However, further analysis suggested that this result might be a product of the health status of individuals at the time of the interview. Type of housing tenure and region of residence were better predictors of mortality risk than occupation-based social class.</p>","PeriodicalId":87183,"journal":{"name":"Health statistics quarterly","volume":" 44","pages":"27-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1057/hsq.2009.36","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28580094","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}

This article uses the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC) and examines the relative merits of classification based on a woman's 'own' occupation as opposed to a 'combined' classification which also takes into account the husband's NS-SEC class, where available. The results demonstrate a strong socio-economic gradient in mortality for adult women under both classification methods. Under the 'combined' classification, women in the least advantaged NS-SEC class had a mortality rate 2.6 times that of those in the most advantaged class. Based on the women's'own' occupation, the comparable ratio was 1.9. These results set a benchmark for the future monitoring of socio-economic mortality inequalities in women, and also provide a comparison between inequalities affecting women and men.</p>","PeriodicalId":87183,"journal":{"name":"Health statistics quarterly","volume":" 42","pages":"6-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1057/hsq.2009.14","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28273137","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}
