Explaining Health Inequalities
Why does social class continue to exercise so important an influence on health? We examine the explanatory framework provided by the Black Report on ‘Inequalities in Health’. We also examine a new medical theory, praised as representing a paradigmatic shift in medicine, developed by the British epidemiologist David Barker. The answers given by Black and Barker to the above question are related. And both are riddled with problems. The typology of …
Regional inequalities in mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To examine the hypothesis of sustained and persistent inequalities in health between British regions and to ask how far they are a consequence of using standardised mortality ratios as the tool of measurement. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS--Data are regional, age specific death rates at seven points in time from 1931 to 1987-89 for the British regions, reconstructed to make them comparable with the 1981 regional definitions. L…

Multiple sclerosis in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. VI
A number of studies have now shown a markedly higher prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in northern Scotland.1 The prevalence rates appear particularly high in the islands, with Orkney having the highest rate reported anywhere in the world.2 3 Our specific task in this paper is to consider the possible effect of differential migration upon prevalence. The hypothesis is that part or all of the difference in prevalence may be the result of diffe…

Pregnancy in teenage girls
Family growth in Aberdeen
This paper reports the findings of longitudinal studies of married primigravidae resident in Aberdeen city: (1) All 1026 primigravidae delivered in 1949 were followed up 5 years later. (2) A 1-in-6 random sample of primigravidae delivered 1950–53 (330 women) were studied intensively and followed up at 5 and 10 years. The findings are biased in favour of families of manual workers because more upper social class families left Aberdeen. Many primig…

Puberty and Test Performance
S ummary . We reported previously from successive testing of an age‐group of girls at ages 7, 9, 11 and 13, that those who reached puberty before age 12: 3 had a slight but consistent superiority in average intelligence test score. A further testing of a selected sample from this group at age 16 suggests that this superiority diminishes as the late developers reach puberty

Prematurity and Paid Work during Pregnancy
Most enquiries into the causes of prematurity conclude that at least 50 per cent. of cases cannot be explained on medical grounds (Joint Committee of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Paediatric Association, 1949; Baird, 1953). In these cases pregnancy is clinically normal but nevertheless labour starts before the expected date, or, if the baby is born at term, it weighs 5k lb. or less. In such circumstances po…
