研究目的：这项研究的目的是发现是否在美国的收入不平等和人口死亡率之间的关系是由富人和poor.Design之间的居住隔离的程度介导的：使用数据为276个大都市地区在美国，居住隔离被定义为不同收入水平的人生活在相同或不同的人口普查区的程度。使用了两种隔离措施：区域内家庭之间的收入不平等与区域之间平均收入不平等的比率，以及Jargowsky邻里排序指数。主要结果：结果表明，城市地区的隔离与额外的死亡负担有关，然而，在这些大都市统计区，收入不平等与死亡率之间的联系被认为与经济发展程度无关，结论：收入不平等和死亡率之间的大部分联系并不受更大的居住隔离的影响。
Study objective: This study was designed to discover whether the relation between income inequality and population death rates within the United States was mediated by the degree of residential segregation between rich and poor.Design: Using data for 276 metropolitan areas in the USA, residential segregation was defined as the extent to which people with different levels of income live in the same or different census tracts. Two segregation measures were used: the ratio of income inequality between household within tracts to the inequality in average income between tracts, and the Jargowsky Neighbourhood Sorting Index.Main results: Results suggest that segregation within urban areas is associated with an additional mortality burden, However, the association between income inequality and mortality in these metropolitan statistical areas was found to be independent of the degree of economic segregationConclusions: Most of the association between income inequality and mortality is not mediated by the effects of greater residential segregation.
