寿命差异通过衡量人口面临的死亡年龄不平等来增加预期寿命。解决过早死亡问题的国家的寿命变异普遍在减少，但这是第一项比较和统计评估整个西欧寿命变异趋势何时以及在多大程度上发生变化的研究。使用 ey 测量寿命变化，并使用连接点回归分析变化的时间和速率。趋势大多呈下降趋势，但最近苏格兰、北爱尔兰、爱尔兰和芬兰的男性除外，这些地区的趋势已趋于平缓或略有上升。未来的研究旨在确定年龄和死亡原因，推动这些国家的趋势，是防止不平等加剧的关键。
Lifespan variation adds to life expectancy by measuring the inequality surrounding age of death that a population faces. Countries that tackle premature mortality generally have decreasing lifespan variation but this is the first study to compare and statistically assess when and to what extent trends in lifespan variation have changed across Western Europe. Lifespan variation was measured using ey and joinpoint regression analysed the timing and rate of change. Trends have been mostly downward with the recent exception of men in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Finland where trends have flattened or show slight increases. Future research aimed at identifying the ages and causes of death, driving trends in these countries, is key to preventing increasing inequalities.
