背景资料：从所有原因的死亡率是较高的人，受教育年限少，黑人，但它是未知的疾病最有助于这些disparity.Methods：我们估计死因的具体风险从全国健康访谈调查进行的数据，从1986年至1994年，并从相关的生命统计。使用这些风险估计，我们计算了与特定原因相关的潜在寿命损失年数和预期寿命的潜在增长，并根据教育水平和种族进行分层。结果：没有高中教育的人每人损失了12.8个潜在寿命年数，而高中毕业的人为3.6个（比率为3.5; P
Background: Mortality from all causes is higher for persons with fewer years of education and for blacks, but it is unknown which diseases contribute most to these disparities.Methods: We estimated cause-specific risks of death from data from the National Health Interview Survey conducted from 1986 through 1994 and from linked vital statistics. Using these risk estimates, we calculated potential years of life lost and potential gains in life expectancy related to specific causes, with stratification according to education level and race.Results: Persons without a high-school education lost 12.8 potential life-years per person in the population, as compared with 3.6 for persons who graduated from high school (ratio, 3.5; P
