地区死亡率差异是健康不平等的一个方面，但其在德国的趋势和决定因素却广为人知。本书探讨并说明了德国的区域死亡率模式（重点关注小区域差异）及其随时间的变化。它确定了个人和区域层面的解释因素。德国东部和西部之间的死亡率存在差异，但小区域的死亡率差异往往更大。尽管主要的空间死亡率模式仍然存在，但这项研究提供的证据表明，德国小区域死亡率模式（尤其是女性）在短时间内发生了一些明显的变化。年轻时和行为相关原因的死亡率不平等以及社会经济条件的差异极大地影响了德国的地区死亡率差异。该书表明，个人和区域层面的死亡风险因素之间复杂的相互作用需要采取多维方法来减少区域死亡率不平等。
Regional mortality differences are one dimension of health inequalities, but its trends and determinants in Germany are widely unknown. This book examines and illustrates patterns of regional mortality in Germany—with focus on small-area differentials—and their changes over time. It identifies explanatory factors at individual and regional level. Mortality differences between eastern and western Germany exist, but small-area mortality differentials are often greater. Though the main spatial mortality patterns remain, this study provides evidence that some distinct changes in the small-area mortality patterns in Germany—especially among women—occurred within a short period of time. Mortality inequalities at younger ages and in behavior-related causes as well as differences in socioeconomic conditions contribute strongly to regional mortality differences in Germany. The book shows that the complex interplay between individual-and regional-level mortality risk factors requires a multidimensional approach to reduce regional mortality inequalities.
