背景和目的我们通过自然实验评估了地区剥夺对个人死亡率的影响:我们对来自前苏联国家的德裔移民进行了跟踪调查,他们准随机分布在德国联邦州北莱茵-威斯特法伦州(NRW)的社会经济异质县中。方法我们使用了关于北莱茵-威斯特法伦州移民死亡率的回顾性队列研究“AMOR”的数据(n=34 393)。根据最后已知居住地的邮政编码,我们将研究参与者与北威州的 54 个县联系起来,这些县聚集在六个贫困集群中。计算每个簇的死亡率和标准化死亡率(SMR)。平均随访 10 年后,2580 名移民死亡。 结果 对于男性和女性队列成员,死亡率和 SMR 在集群“贫困极”中最高(SMR 男性:1.21,95% CI 1.04 至 1.41;SMR 女性:1.17,95% CI 0.99 至 1.37),而她们最低在“繁荣地区和郊区县”集群中(SMR 女性:0.86,95% CI 0.70 至 1.05)以及在“异质县”集群中(SMR 男性:0.73,95% CI 0.61 至 0.88)。 结论 准随机分布到不同社会经济地位县的人口经历了不同的死亡率水平。在地区贫困程度最高的地区,这一比例最高。先前的研究描述了死亡率和区域贫困之间的这种正相关关系,但无法区分成分效应和背景效应。因此,我们的研究结果表明,就死亡率而言,地区贫困确实很重要。
Background and objectiveWe assessed the effect of regional deprivation on individual mortality by making use of a natural experiment: we followed up ethnic German resettlers from Former Soviet Union countries who were quasi-randomly distributed across the socioeconomically heterogeneous counties of Germany's federal state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).MethodsWe used data from the retrospective cohort study ‘AMOR’ on the mortality of resettlers in NRW (n=34 393). Based on the postcode of the last known residence we linked study participants to the 54 counties of NRW, which were aggregated in six deprivation clusters. Mortality rates and standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for each cluster. After a mean follow-up of 10 years, 2580 resettlers were deceased.ResultsFor male and female cohort members, mortality rates and SMRs were highest in the cluster ‘poverty poles’ (SMR men: 1.21, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.41; SMR women: 1.17, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.37), whereas they were lowest in the cluster ‘prospering regions and suburban counties’ (SMR women: 0.86, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.05) as well as in the cluster ‘heterogeneous counties’ (SMR men: 0.73, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.88).ConclusionsThe population which was quasi-randomly distributed to counties of differing socioeconomic status experienced different levels of mortality. It was highest in regions with the highest level of regional deprivation. Previous studies describing this positive relationship between mortality and regional deprivation could not differentiate between compositional and contextual effects. Thus, our findings indicate that in terms of mortality, regional deprivation does matter.
