STUDY OBJECTIVE
The aim was to identify any social class differences in health and care in the year before death emerging from a wider study of life before death.
DESIGN AND SETTING
Data were collected at interviews, mainly of close relatives, with those who knew most about the people's lives in the year before they died. The sample was a random sample of adult (15 and over) deaths in 10 areas of England in 1987.
SUBJECTS
Information was obtained about 639 persons, 80% of the initial sample of 800 deaths.
MAIN RESULTS
While middle class people die at an older age, the symptoms and physical restrictions reported for middle class and working class people were similar, and middle class people were reported to have a better quality of life before death. More working class people were felt to be in financial need.
CONCLUSIONS
Money and class contribute to the quality of life before death as well as postponing death.
研究目的
旨在通过对死亡前生活的更广泛研究，确定死亡前一年在健康和护理方面的任何社会阶层差异。
设计与背景
数据收集主要通过对近亲进行访谈，这些近亲最了解人们在去世前一年的生活情况。样本是1987年英格兰10个地区成年（15岁及以上）死亡者的随机样本。
研究对象
获取了639人的信息，占最初800例死亡样本的80%。
主要结果
虽然中产阶级人群的死亡年龄较大，但中产阶级和工人阶级人群报告的症状和身体限制相似，且据报道中产阶级人群在死亡前的生活质量更好。更多工人阶级人群被认为有经济需求。
结论
金钱和阶层不仅会影响死亡时间，还会影响死亡前的生活质量。
