Disparities in life expectancy between socioeconomic groups are one of the main challenges for health policy, and their reduction over time is an important policy objective.
Observational study using routinely registered data on mortality around 2011 and 2016 by sex, age, educational attainment level, and cause of death in 13 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The main outcome measures are life expectancy by education at the ages of 25 and 65 in 2011 and 2016.
Between 2011 and 2016, the life expectancy gap has increased by 0·2 years among men and 0·3 years among women from 13 available countries. The United States recorded one the largest increases in the absolute life expectancy gap, 1·3 years for women and 1·1 years for men respectively.
Inequality in longevity has increased in over half of the countries surveyed and starkly so in the United States in a context of deteriorating health.

社会经济群体之间预期寿命的差异是卫生政策面临的主要挑战之一,而随着时间的推移,降低这种差异则是一个重要的政策目标。
采用观察性研究,利用经合组织(OECD)13 个成员国在 2011 年和 2016 年按性别、年龄、教育程度和死因登记的死亡率的常规数据。主要观察指标为 2011 年和 2016 年 25 岁和 65 岁时的教育程度与预期寿命之间的关系。
在 2011 年至 2016 年间,13 个有数据的国家中,男性和女性的教育程度与预期寿命差距分别扩大了 0·2 年和 0·3 年。美国的绝对预期寿命差距增长最大,女性增加了 1·3 年,男性增加了 1·1 年。
在接受调查的一半以上国家中,长寿方面的不平等现象有所加剧,而美国在健康状况恶化的情况下,这种不平等现象尤为明显。
不适用。
