It is well known that men and women who are married have lower mortality rates than those who are not. It is also known that some migrants from abroad have higher mortality rates than people in England and Wales and that they have different patterns of family formation and dissolution. In this article the authors investigate the patterns of mortality by country of birth, marital status and cause of death to see if the overall differences in mortality among migrants can be explained by their different marital patterns.
众所周知，已婚男女的死亡率低于未婚男女。同样已知的是，一些来自国外的移民死亡率高于英格兰和威尔士的居民，而且他们有着不同的家庭形成和解体模式。在本文中，作者按出生国、婚姻状况和死因调查了死亡率模式，以查看移民中死亡率的总体差异是否可以由他们不同的婚姻模式来解释。
