以前的研究表明，自我报告的健康指标可以预测随后的死亡率，但这种关联在人口和人口亚组之间存在差异。例如，自我报告的健康状况对老年人死亡率的预测性较低，与男性死亡率的相关性强于女性，对社会经济地位较低的人的死亡率的预测性高于社会经济地位较高的人，特别是中年工作成年人。本文探讨了这种关联使用个人层面，而不是生态，数据，看看是否有英国的组成国家之间的差异，在自我报告的健康和随后的死亡率之间的关系，并调查社会经济不平等的死亡率更普遍。数据来自三个基于人口普查的纵向研究，目前可用于英格兰和威尔士、苏格兰和北方爱尔兰。
Previous studies have shown that self-reported health indicators are predictive of subsequent mortality, but that this association varies between populations and population sub-groups. For example, self-reported health is less predictive of mortality at older ages, has a stronger association with mortality for men than for women and is more predictive of mortality for those of lower than those of higher socio-economic status, particularly among middle aged working adults. This article explores this association using individual level, rather than ecological, data to see whether there are differences between the constituent countries of the UK in the relationship between self-reported health and subsequent mortality, and to investigate socio-economic inequalities in mortality more generally. Data are used from the three Census based longitudinal studies now available for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.List of tables, 13.
