| Annotation | This is the first study of long-term changes in mortality rates by local geographical area carried out in the UK. It details how life chances (mortality rates in general) have been changing for a constant set of local areas since World War II. Changes in death rates for different age and sex groups are compared for decades since the 1950s, based on comparable sets of official statistics to those in the Registrar General's Decennial review, 1951. Although crude death rates have fallen for most areas, inequalities are indicated: the death rate for the tenth of the population living in areas with the highest death rate is higher than that experienced by people living in the best areas twenty years later. |
