  1. CMGPD-LNSubstantive Lecture Day 7 Health and Mortality

  2. Differentials in health and mortality • In contemporary developed countries, SES and health/mortality are closely correlated • Higher SES tends to translate into better health and lower mortality • Link and Phelan etc. claim the relationship is universal • Link, Bruce and Jo Phelan. 1995. “Social Conditions as Fundamental Causes of Disease.” Journal of Health and Social Behavior. 35:80-94. • Relationships in developing and historical countries are less clear • High status may increase exposure to causes of illness via lifestyle factors • In CMGPD-LN, results on relationships of status and health/mortality are mixed. • General problem not clear that mortality/health differentials directly map socioeconomic status in historical populations • In the absence of other controls
