| Annotation | A previous article in Health Statistics Quarterly has noted premature mortality as a major public health concern. This article reports social inequalities in mortality in men aged 25-64 in England and Wales in the period 2001-2003 using linked data sources and 2001-2004 using linked data sources. It represents the first official analysis of the National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification introduced in 2001, and updates the tradition of decennial reporting of mortality by socio-economic status. These results set a benchmark for inequalities in mortality in men of this age, providing insights into the impacts of different social and occupational circumstances in the early 21st century and enabling future monitoring. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) intends to extend this work to examine inequalities in mortality in females of the same age in causes of death and by Government Office region. The sources used were the 2001 Census, the mid-year population estimates for 2001-2003, deaths of men occurring in 2001-2003, and ONS Longitudinal Study (LS). (RH). |
