      ab: A response to a commentary in this issue by D. Rose and D.J. Pevalin on the writer's “Social class differences in mortality using the new UK National Statistics Socio-economic Classification,” which appeared in Social Science and Medicine, vol. 50, 2000, pp. 641–649. The writer states that although Rose and Pevalin's analysis of the use of social classifications in health research is timely and enlightening, their criticism that his original analysis was based on inappropriate data and methods is without foundation. He replies to specific issues they raise, including the analysis of social class differences in mortality at all ages, problems of data availability and reliability having an effect on the analysis of social class differences in mortality at all ages, the absence of a gradient in the Registrar General's social class, and the importance of housing tenure and net household income in research on health inequalities.
