| Annotation | Inequality in premature mortality has persisted and continues to increase, both for mortality under the age of 75 since 1990 and for mortality under the age of 65 since the 1920s, with geographical inequalities in mortality highest in the most recent time period. The authors did not examine migration; they only considered all-cause mortality; nor did they look at changes in the underlying causes of death. The results of this study apply only to the population of Great Britain. (KJ/RH). |
