  • Widening educational inequalities in mortality in more recent birth cohorts

    Open AccessDi Long, J P Mackenbach et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2023Citada por: 4Referencias: 35

    BACKGROUND: Studies of period changes in educational inequalities in mortality have shown important changes over time. It is unknown whether a birth cohort perspective paints the same picture. We compared changes in inequalities in mortality between a period and cohort perspective and explored mortality trends among low-educated and high-educated birth cohorts. DATA AND METHODS: In 14 European countries, we collected and harmonised all-cause and …

  • Determinants of educational inequalities in disability-free life expectancy between ages 35 and 80 in Europe

    Open AccessJose R Rubio Valverde, J P Mackenbach et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

    Socioeconomic inequalities in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) exist across all European countries, yet the driving determinants of these differences are not completely known. We calculated the impact on educational inequalities in DFLE of equalizing the distribution of eight risk factors for mortality and disability using register-based mortality data and survey data from 15 European countries for individuals between 35 and 80 years old. F…

  • Mortality inequalities by occupational class among men in Japan, South Korea and eight European countries

    Open AccessHirokazu Tanaka, Wilma J Nusselder et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 48

    BACKGROUND: We compared mortality inequalities by occupational class in Japan and South Korea with those in European countries, in order to determine whether patterns are similar. METHODS: National register-based data from Japan, South Korea and eight European countries (Finland, Denmark, England/Wales, France, Switzerland, Italy (Turin), Estonia, Lithuania) covering the period between 1990 and 2015 were collected and harmonised. We calculated ag…

  • Trends in health inequalities in 27 European countries

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, Jose R Rubio Valverde et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2018

    Significance Inequalities in mortality and morbidity among socioeconomic groups are a highly persistent phenomenon despite having been the focus of public health policy in many countries. The United States has recently witnessed a widening of health inequalities due to rising mortality and morbidity among the lowly educated. Our study shows that, despite the financial crisis, most European countries have experienced an improvement in the health o…

  • Predicted Mercury Soil Concentrations from a Kriging Approach for Improved Human Health Risk Assessment

    Open AccessDavid Imo, Holger Dressel et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Health-risks from contaminated soils are assessed all over the world. An aspect that many risk assessments share is the heterogeneity in the distribution of contaminants. In a preceding study, we assessed potential health-risks for mothers and children living on mercury-contaminated soils in Switzerland using human biomonitoring-values (HBM) and soil samples. We assessed 64 mothers and 107 children who had resided in a defined area for at least 3…

  • Impact of Parenthood, Informal Caregiving and its Combination on Self-Rated Health - a Population-Based Study in Switzerland

    Open AccessNadine Häusler, Oliver Hämmig et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Ageing2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

  • Determinants of the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, M Bopp et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2017Citada por: 12Referencias: 7

    The magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality differs importantly between countries, but these variations have not been satisfactorily explained. We explored the role of behavioral and structural determinants of these variations, by using a dataset covering 17 European countries in the period 1970-2010, and by conducting multilevel multivariate regression analyses. Our results suggest that between-country variations in inequalities in …

  • Fundamental causes’ of inequalities in mortality

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, Caspar W N Looman et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2017Citada por: 10Referencias: 9

    The ‘fundamental causes’ theory stipulates that when new opportunities for lowering mortality arise, higher socioeconomic groups will benefit more because of their greater material and non‐material resources. We tested this theory using harmonised mortality data by educational level for 22 causes of death and 20 European populations from the period 1980–2010. Across all causes and populations, mortality on average declined by 2.49 per cent (95% C…

  • Changes in mortality inequalities over two decades

    Open AccessJ P Mackenbach, Ivana Kulhánová et al.ARTICLEBMJ2016

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether government efforts in reducing inequalities in health in European countries have actually made a difference to mortality inequalities by socioeconomic group. DESIGN: Register based study. DATA SOURCE: Mortality data by level of education and occupational class in the period 1990-2010, usually collected in a census linked longitudinal study design. We compared changes in mortality between the lowest and highest soci…

  • The impact of increasing income inequalities on educational inequalities in mortality - An analysis of six European countries

    Open AccessRasmus Hoffmann, Yannan Hu et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    We find no support for the hypothesis that increasing income inequality explains increasing health inequalities. Possible explanations are that other factors are more important mediators of the effect of education on health, or more simply that income is not an important determinant of mortality in this European context of high-income countries. This study contributes to the discussion on income inequality as entry point to tackle health inequali…

  • Contribution of smoking to socioeconomic inequalities in mortality

    Giorgia Gregoraci, Frank J Van Lenthe et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2016

    In many European countries, smoking has become less important as a determinant of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among men, but not among women. Inequalities in smoking remain one of the most important entry points for reducing inequalities in mortality

  • Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health in 17 European countries between 1990 and 2010

    Yannan Hu, Frank J Van Lenthe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016Citada por: 12Referencias: 37

    BACKGROUND: Between the 1990s and 2000s, relative inequalities in all-cause mortality increased, whereas absolute inequalities decreased in many European countries. Whether similar trends can be observed for inequalities in other health outcomes is unknown. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of trends in socioeconomic inequalities in self-assessed health (SAH) in Europe between 1990 and 2010. METHODS: Data were obtained from nati…

  • Independent at heart

    David Faeh, André Moser et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016Referencias: 33

    BACKGROUND: Living at higher altitude was dose-dependently associated with lower risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Higher altitudes have different climatic, topographic and built environment properties than lowland regions. It is unclear whether these environmental factors mediate/confound the association between altitude and IHD. We examined how much of the altitude-IHD association is explained by variations in exposure at place of residenc…

  • Trends in inequalities in premature mortality

    J P Mackenbach, Ivana Kulhánová et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2015Citada por: 34Referencias: 33

    BACKGROUND: Over the last decades of the 20th century, a widening of the gap in death rates between upper and lower socioeconomic groups has been reported for many European countries. For most countries, it is unknown whether this widening has continued into the first decade of the 21st century. METHODS: We collected and harmonised data on mortality by educational level among men and women aged 30-74 years in all countries with available data: Fi…

  • The Contribution of National Disparities to International Differences in Mortality Between the United States and 7 European Countries

    Karen Van Hedel, Mauricio Avendaño et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015Citada por: 3Referencias: 46

    Objectives. This study examined to what extent the higher mortality in the United States compared to many European countries is explained by larger social disparities within the United States. We estimated the expected US mortality if educational disparities in the United States were similar to those in 7 European countries. Methods. Poisson models were used to quantify the association between education and mortality for men and women aged 30 to …

  • Mortality risk associated with underweight

    Open AccessLucienne Roh, Julia Braun et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The increased risk of dying of underweight people was mainly due to an increased mortality risk from external causes. Using self-reported BMI may lead to an overestimation of mortality risk associated with underweight

  • Overcoming cut-off restrictions in multimorbidity prevalence estimates

    Open AccessBarbara M Holzer, Klarissa Siebenhuener et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Our study shows a way to enhance and improve the comparability of prevalence estimates from different multimorbidity studies

  • Prevalence of chronic medical conditions in Switzerland

    Open AccessUeli Zellweger, M Bopp et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Prevalence estimates of chronic medical conditions and their multiples (multimorbidity) in the general population are scarce and often rather speculative in Switzerland. Using complementary data sources, we assessed estimates validity of population-based prevalence rates of four common chronic medical conditions with high impact on cardiovascular health (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity). We restricted our analyses to patien…

  • Socioeconomic differences in the use of ill-defined causes of death in 16 European countries

    Open AccessIvana Kulhánová, Gwenn Menvielle et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    We found evidence for educational differences in the distribution of ill-defined causes of death. However, the differences between educational groups were small suggesting that socioeconomic inequalities in cause-specific mortality in Europe are not likely to be biased

  • Healthy migrants but unhealthy offspring? A retrospective cohort study among Italians in Switzerland

    Open Accessthe SNC study group, Silvan Tarnutzer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    The mortality risks of first- and second-generation Italians vary substantially. The healthy migrant effect and health disadvantage among second-generation Italians show characteristic age/sex patterns. Future investigation of health behavior and cause-specific mortality is needed to better understand different mortality risks. Such insights will facilitate adequate prevention and health promotion efforts

  • Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality from conditions amenable to medical interventions

    Open AccessIris Plug, Rasmus Hoffmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    We did not find evidence that inequalities in mortality from amenable conditions are related to inequalities in access or quality of health care. Further research is needed to find the causes of socio-economic inequalities in mortality from amenable conditions, and caution should be exercised in interpreting these inequalities as indicating health care deficiencies

  • Educational inequalities in mortality and associated risk factors

    Open AccessDavid Faeh, M BoppARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    With respect to inequalities in mortality and associated risk factors, we found characteristic differences between German- and French-speaking Switzerland, some of which followed gradients described in Europe. These differences only partially reflected inequalities in associated risk factors
