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.

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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
