          Abstract

          Objetivos: Conocer la evolución de las desigualdades sociales en la mortalidad general de la ciudad de Sevilla en el período 1994-2002. Material y método: Se asignó a cada fallecido en 1994-1997 y 1999-2002 el nivel socioeconómico de la sección censal de residencia, obtenido a partir de un Índice Sintético de Nivel Socioeconómico elaborado por análisis factorial de componentes principales a partir de variables del Censo de 2001. Mediante indicadores de mortalidad se describe su magnitud y evolución según el nivel socioeconómico. Resultados: Las tasas ajustadas de mortalidad general en las secciones de peor nivel socioeconómico fueron en hombres 1,32 y 1,25 veces superiores a las de mejor nivel, y en las mujeres 1,19 y 1,08, respectivamente en cada período. Las razones de tasas truncadas y años potenciales vida perdidos pasaron en hombres de 1,66 a 2,28 y de 1,74 a 2,10, en mujeres, respectivamente. Se mantuvo una diferencia de 4 años en la esperanza de vida al nacer en hombres entre las secciones de mejor y peor nivel, disminuyendo de 1,90 a 0,82 años en mujeres. El riesgo atribuible poblacional (todas las edades) pasó del 13,18 al 10,46% en hombres, y del 10,02 al 2,58% en mujeres. Conclusiones: Las desigualdades sociales en la mortalidad para el conjunto de la población disminuyen, sobre todo en las mujeres. Las desigualdades aumentan en la mortalidad prematura y entre los 35 y los 64 años de los hombres, fundamentalmente por una reducción de la mortalidad en las secciones censales de nivel socioeconómico más alto.

          Objectives: To know trends of social inequalities in general mortality in Seville (Spain) between 1997 and 2002. Material and method: Socioeconomic level of its the residential census tracts was assigned for each death, taken from the Socio-economic Synthetic Index built up after applying a principal components analysis from 2001 census variables. Using mortality indicators its magnitude and trend was described according socio-economic level. Results: General mortality standardized rates by age in the census tracts of lowest socio-economic level were 1.32 and 1.25 times greater than in the highest census tracts in men and 1.19 and 1.08 in women respectively in each periods. The truncated rates ratio and potential years of lost life in men went from 1.66 to 2.28 in men and 1.74 to 2.10 in women, respectively. The four years difference in life expectancy at birth between the census tracts of highest and lower level remained unchanged in men, and fell from 1.90 to 0.82 in women. The population attributable risk (all ages) went from 13.18% to 10.46% in men and 10.02% to 2.58% in women. Conclusions: Social inequalities in mortality for the general population decreased mainly in women. The inequalities increased in the early death and between 35-64 years old in men, basically due to a reduced mortality in higher socio-economic level census tracts.

          Socioeconomic inequalities in child mortality: comparisons across nine developing countries.

          A Wagstaff (2000)
          This paper generates and analyses survey data on inequalities in mortality among infants and children aged under five years by consumption in Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa, and Viet Nam. The data were obtained from the Living Standards Measurement Study and the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. Mortality rates were estimated directly where complete fertility histories were available and indirectly otherwise. Mortality distributions were compared between countries by means of concentration curves and concentration indices: dominance checks were carried out for all pairwise intercountry comparisons; standard errors were calculated for the concentration indices; and tests of intercountry differences in inequality were performed.

              Health inequalities in Britain and Sweden.

              Health differences between social classes are greater in Britain than in Sweden, but persist in both countries despite central Government interventions aimed at the reduction of such differences.
