| Annotation | The authors presented evidence of a continuing North South divide in terms of social disadvantage and mortality in the previous issue of Health Statistics Quarterly. This paper examines regional differences in long term disadvantage and its impact on regional inequalities in mortality. Long term disadvantage was measured by living in rented housing in the 1981 and 1991 Census, and long term advantage was measured by being in owner occupied housing on both occasions. Together, these two groups comprised 83% of those remaining the same region. Using this measure, long term disadvantage was greater in the North than the South. This indicator of long term disadvantage was strongly associated with mortality in 1991-97. Region of residence was also linked to mortality. Adjusting for differences in long term disadvantage did not explain the overall North/South divide. (RH). |
