The questions addressed in this article are two, namely are class differences in health apparent in Sweden in the same manner as was shown for Britain in the Black Report? and is it possible to learn anything new about inequality patterns in different stages of life from analyses of self-reported morbidity data? By analysing data on long-standing illness by the means of logistic regression, it is shown that the risk of falling ill is distributed in very similar ways in the two countries, although the dispersion of these risk factors seems to be greater in Britain. In an analysis of acute sickness this result is not obtained, which is assumed to be an effect of differences in answering patterns. For Sweden, it is shown that social classes do not differ much in terms of health among the young. Instead, inequalities in health seem to be established at first in middle age.
本文探讨了两个问题，即瑞典的健康方面的阶级差异是否如《布莱克报告》中所显示的英国那样明显？以及通过对自我报告的发病率数据进行分析，是否有可能了解到不同生命阶段不平等模式的新情况？通过逻辑回归分析长期疾病数据表明，两国患病风险的分布方式非常相似，尽管这些风险因素在英国的分散程度似乎更大。在对急性疾病的分析中未得到此结果，这被认为是回答模式差异的影响。对于瑞典，研究表明年轻人中社会阶层在健康方面差异不大。相反，健康不平等似乎首先在中年时形成。
