Trends in mortality patterns in two countries with different welfare models: Comparisons between Cuba and Denmark 1955–2020
Equity of referrals to type 2 diabetes rehabilitation in a universal welfare state
Patients were more likely to be referred to municipal rehabilitation if they had low vs. high income (hazard ratio (HR) 2.87 [women], 1.64 [men]), were not employed vs. employed (HR 1.95 [women], 1.23 [men]) and were affiliated with GPs with a low vs. very high level of deprivation (HR 7.63 [women], 4.30 [men]). The results suggest that GPs practice proportionate universalism by allocating treatment to lower socioeconomic individuals in likely hi…
Mediating role of multimorbidity in inequality in mortality: A register study on the Danish population
BACKGROUND: The social inequality in mortality is due to differential incidence of several disorders and injury types, as well as differential survival. The resulting clustering and possible interaction in disadvantaged groups of several disorders make multimorbidity a potentially important component in the health divide. This study decomposes the effect of education on mortality into a direct effect, a pure indirect effect mediated by multimorbi…
Income inequality in life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy in Denmark
Background Income has seldom been used to study social differences in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). This study investigates income inequalities in life expectancy and DFLE at age 50 and 65 and estimates the contributions from the mortality and disability effects on the differences between income groups. Methods Life tables by income quintile were constructed using Danish register data on equivalised disposable household income and morta…
Changes and correlations in height from 7 to 69 years of age across the birth years of 1930 to 1989
OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to describe changes in height during childhood and to investigate potential changes in the proportion of children attaining final height in childhood and in correlations between child and adult height across birth cohorts. METHODS: We included 363 059 children (179 906 girls) from the Copenhagen School Health Records Register, who were born between 1930 and 1989, with height measurements at ages 7, 10, or 1…
How does socioeconomic development in Brazil shape social inequalities in diabetes
Many countries, including Brazil, are facing growing social inequalities in diabetes prevalence. The different states in Brazil represent different levels of development and by comparing diabetes inequalities across states we aim to get a better understanding of how educational inequalities in diabetes are linked to social development. We use the latest cross-sectional national health survey of Brazil - PNS-2013 ( N = 60,202) and analyse the disp…
Inequalities in employment rates among older men and women in Canada, Denmark, Sweden and the UK
Our results suggest that educational level, sex and health all play a role in extending working lives. The variation in employment rates between the four countries implies that policies do matter, but that social differentials show that policies cannot be 'one size fits all'. Policy-makers must consider different groups (i.e. low-educated women with a LLI) when designing policies to extend working lives
Too sick to work, too healthy to qualify: A cross-country analysis of the effect of changes to disability benefits
BACKGROUND: Denmark and Sweden have implemented reforms that narrowed disability benefit eligibility criteria. Such reforms in combination with increasing work demands create a pincer movement where in particular those with moderate health problems might be unable to comply with work demands, but still not qualify for permanent disability benefits, ending up with temporary means-tested or no benefits. This paper examines whether this actually hap…
Life course analysis on income and incident AMI: A Danish register-based cohort study
BACKGROUND: Social inequality in ischaemic heart disease has been related to socioeconomic position in childhood, early adulthood and late adulthood. However, the impact of relative level of accumulated income periods across adult life course and the potential gender and age differences have not been investigated. The aim was to investigate the association between relative level of accumulated income across the life course and acute myocardial in…
The syndemics of diabetes and depression in Brazil – An epidemiological analysis
An epidemiological model of causal pathways in the syndemic of diabetes and depression is presented.•Depression and diabetes are clustering in the adult Brazilian population partly due to shared social and behavioural causes.•There is an interaction between depression and diabetes in their association with disability.•There is a differential susceptibility to the effect of obesity on diabetes across levels of education and depression

The effect of breast cancer on personal income three years after diagnosis by cancer stage and education: A register-based cohort study among Danish females
In a Danish context, the very small negative effect of BC on personal income may be explained by different types of compensation in low- and high-income groups. The public income transfers are equal for all income groups and cover a relatively high compensation among low-income groups. However, high-income groups additionally receive pay-outs from private pension and insurance schemes, which typically provide higher coverage for high-income worke…

Differences in socioeconomic and gender inequalities in tobacco smoking in Denmark and Sweden; a cross sectional comparison of the equity effect of different public health policies
The results imply that Swedish anti-smoking policy and/or implemented measures have been less effective in a health equity perspective among the younger generation of women, but more effective among men, compared to Danish policy implementation. The results also raises the more general issue regarding the possible need for a trade-off principle between overall population efficacy versus equity efficacy of anti-tobacco, as well as general public h…
Social inequality in the prevalence of depressive disorders
BACKGROUND: Uncertainties exist about the strength of the relation between socioeconomic position and depressive disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between education, occupation, employment and income and depressive disorders measured as minor and major depression, as well as antidepressant prescriptions. METHODS: Data were collected from a Danish cross-sectional study collected year 2000, comprising 9254 subjects…
Income as mediator of the effect of occupation on the risk of myocardial infarction: Does the income measurement matter
Aim: To investigate whether the effect of occupational grade on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is mediated by income with different aspects of income taken into account. Methods: Data were used from three prospective population studies conducted in Copenhagen. A total of 16 665 employees, 43% women, aged 20–75 years, with an initial examination between 1974 and 1992 were followed up until 1999 for incident (hospital admission or fatal) MI…
