| Annotation | The forthcoming Decennial Supplement will be broader in focus than its predecessor "Mortality and geography", and this article summarises work on all-cause mortality in the 1990s. It provides further evidence of geographic inequalities in mortality at country, government office region (GOR) and local authority (LA) level during the 1990s, expanding on previous articles by extending the focus to include the whole of the UK. The article concentrates on comparisons of mortality at all ages and mortality among those aged 15-44 for males and females separately. The ONS classification of local and health authorities of Great Britain (revised for authorities in 1999) is used as an indicator of the characteristics of areas and as a measure of identifying the similarity between areas. A north-south divide is detected in all-age mortality at regional level within England, with higher mortality rates in the northern regions of England. More marked are the inequalities within rather than between regions, with the highest levels of mortality tending to be in urban and industrial areas. (RH). |
