This review summarizes results of a number of studies on health and social inequities in Finland in comparison with other countries. Comparisons over time have been made when possible. Inequities in mortality in Finland can be compared with data from Denmark, Norway and Sweden as well as England and Wales plus Hungary. All countries show a similar relationship between mortality and level of education. No major changes in this relationship can be observed during the 1970s. Data on morbidity and perceived health complete the picture obtained on the basis of mortality data. Inequities concern various dimensions of health. Taken as a whole, the data suggest that the pattern of health inequities is more accentuated in Finland than in other Nordic countries.
本综述总结了芬兰与其他国家相比在健康和社会不平等方面的多项研究结果。如有可能，还进行了不同时期的比较。芬兰的死亡率不平等情况可与丹麦、挪威、瑞典以及英格兰、威尔士和匈牙利的数据进行比较。所有国家的死亡率与教育水平之间都呈现出相似的关系。在20世纪70年代，这种关系没有明显变化。发病率和自我感知健康的数据完善了基于死亡率数据得出的情况。不平等涉及健康的各个方面。总体而言，数据表明芬兰的健康不平等模式比其他北欧国家更为突出。
