分析了收入和收入分配对死亡率的影响。讨论了个人收入和死亡率之间的关系，并对社区层面的死亡率决定因素进行了推断。由于收入效应的非线性，衡量收入不平等的指标可能与总体数据中的死亡率有关。进行了国际横断面分析，调查了不同的收入和收入分配衡量标准作为死亡率的决定因素，出生时和5岁时的预期寿命，以及婴儿死亡率作为因变量的衡量标准。收入分配始终与死亡率密切相关；在一个相对不平等的国家，预期寿命可能比一个更平等的国家低5-10年。
The effects of income and income distribution on mortality are analyzed. The relation between income and mortality for individuals is discussed, and implications for the determinants of mortality at the community level inferred. Measures of income inequality are probably related to mortality on aggregate data because of the non-linearity of income effects. An international cross-section analysis is undertaken where different measures of income and income distribution are investigated as determinants of mortality, with life expectancy at birth and age 5, and infant mortality taken as measures of the dependent variable. Income distribution is consistently and strongly related to mortality; in a relatively inegalitarian country life expectancy may be between 5-10 yr lower than in a more egalitarian country.
