We compared all-cause mortality rates stratified by individual-level education and by census tract area-based socioeconomic measures for Massachusetts (1999-2001). Among persons aged 25 and older, the age-adjusted relative index of inequality was slightly higher for the census tract than for the individual education measures (1.5 vs 1.2, respectively). Only the census tract socioeconomic measures could provide a relative index of inequality (2-3) for deaths before age 25 or detect expected socioeconomic disparities for deaths among persons 65 and older (relative index of inequality= approximately 1.2 vs 0.8 for census tract measures and individual education, respectively).
我们比较了马萨诸塞州(1999 - 2001年)按个人层面教育程度以及基于人口普查区的社会经济指标分层的全因死亡率。在25岁及以上人群中,人口普查区的年龄调整不平等相对指数略高于个人教育程度指标(分别为1.5和1.2)。只有人口普查区的社会经济指标能够提供25岁之前死亡的不平等相对指数(2 - 3),或者发现65岁及以上人群死亡中预期的社会经济差异(人口普查区指标和个人教育程度的不平等相对指数分别约为1.2和0.8)。
