摘要: We compared all-cause mortality rates stratified by individual-level education and census tract area-based socioeconomic measures for Massachusetts (1999-2001). Among persons aged 25 older, the age-adjusted relative index of inequality was slightly higher than individual (1.5 vs 1.2, respectively). Only could provide a (2-3) deaths before age or detect expected disparities among 65 older (relative inequality= approximately 1.2 0.8 education,
