"The effect of social mobility on the socioeconomic differential in mortality is examined with data from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study. The analyses involve 46,980 men aged 45-64 years in 1981. The mortality risk of the socially mobile is compared with the mortality risk of the socially stable after adjustment for their class of origin (their social class in 1971) and class of destination (their social class in 1981) separately. Among those in employment there is some evidence that movement out of their class of origin is in the direction predicted by the idea of health-related social mobility. This evidence, however, seems strongest for causes of death which are least likely to have been preceded by prolonged incapacity. Movement into the class of destination, however, shows the opposite relationship with mortality."
利用英国国家统计局纵向研究的数据，研究了社会流动对死亡率社会经济差异的影响。分析涉及1981年46980名年龄在45至64岁之间的男性。分别在调整了他们的出身阶层（1971年的社会阶层）和目的地阶层（1981年的社会阶层）之后，将社会流动者的死亡风险与社会稳定者的死亡风险进行了比较。在就业人群中，有证据表明，脱离出身阶层的流动方向符合与健康相关的社会流动理念所预测的方向。然而，这一证据对于那些最不太可能在死亡之前出现长期无行为能力情况的死因似乎最为明显。然而，进入目的地阶层的流动与死亡率呈现相反的关系。
