This article uses census records and deaths records to analyze trends in educational inequalities in mortality for Austrian women and men aged 35-64 years between 1981/1982 and 1991/1992. We find an increasing gradient in mortality by education for circulatory diseases and especially ischaemic heart disease. Respiratory diseases and, in addition for women, cancers showed the opposite trend. Using decomposition analysis, we give evidence that in many cases changes in the age-structure within the 10-year interval had a bigger effect than direct improvements in mortality on the analyzed subpopulations.
本文利用人口普查记录和死亡记录,分析了1981/1982年至1991/1992年间35 - 64岁奥地利男女在死亡率方面的教育不平等趋势。我们发现,循环系统疾病尤其是缺血性心脏病的死亡率按教育程度呈上升梯度。呼吸系统疾病以及女性的癌症则呈现相反趋势。通过分解分析,我们证明在许多情况下,10年间隔内年龄结构的变化对所分析亚人群的影响比死亡率的直接改善更大。
