Comparative international studies regularly find an increase in mortality differentials by education and socioeconomic group. We are interested in whether the same is true for Austria, a country for which no previous comparable study exists. On the basis of linked death and census records for the Austrian population in the years 1981/82 and 1991/92, we observed a widening gap in educational and occupational differentials of Austrian men in relative and absolute mortality from all causes. The increase was restricted to ages 50 to 74, whereas mortality differentials at younger and older ages were unchanged or slightly lower. The growing gap resulted from increasing mortality advantages for men with tertiary education, the highest educational group. Their absolute mortality and relative mortality risks decreased faster than those of all other educational groups. Educational differentials among women remained unchanged.
比较性国际研究经常发现，教育程度和社会经济群体之间的死亡率差异在增加。我们想知道奥地利是否也是如此，此前该国尚无类似的可比研究。基于1981/82年和1991/92年奥地利人口的死亡记录与人口普查记录的关联数据，我们观察到奥地利男性在所有原因导致的相对和绝对死亡率方面，教育程度和职业差异的差距在扩大。这种增加仅限于50至74岁年龄段，而较年轻和较年长年龄段的死亡率差异没有变化或略有降低。差距扩大的原因是受过高等教育（最高教育群体）的男性死亡率优势增加。他们的绝对死亡率和相对死亡风险下降速度比所有其他教育群体都要快。女性之间的教育差异保持不变。
