研究目的 - 旨在通过对死前生活进行更广泛的研究，确定死前一年在健康和护理方面的社会阶层差异。 设计和背景 - 通过访谈收集数据，主要是近亲，以及那些最了解人们死前一年生活的人。该样本是 1987 年英格兰 10 个地区成人（15 岁及以上）死亡的随机样本。 对象 - 获得了约 639 人的信息，占初始样本 800 例死亡的 80%。 主要结果 - 虽然中产阶级的死亡年龄较大，但中产阶级和工人阶级报告的症状和身体限制相似，据报道中产阶级在死前有更好的生活质量。更多的工人阶级被认为有经济需要。结论——金钱和阶级有助于提高生前的生活质量并推迟死亡。
Study objective - The aim was to identify any social class differences in health and care in the year before death emerging from a wider study of life before death.Design and setting - Data were collected at interviews, mainly of close relatives, with those who knew most about the people's lives in the year before they died. The sample was a random sample of adult (15 and over) deaths in 10 areas of England in 1987.Subjects - Information was obtained about 639 persons, 80% of the initial sample of 800 deaths.Main results - While middle class people die at an older age, the symptoms and physical restrictions reported for middle class and working class people were similar, and middle class people were reported to have a better quality of life before death. More working class people were felt to be in financial need.Conclusions - Money and class contribute to the quality of life before death as well as postponing death.
