Abstract
Counting early deaths due to socioeconomic inequality
Highlights
Descriptive studies of inequality in England include classic works such as Charles Booth’s poverty maps of London,[1] and the Black report.[2]
A similar approach using life-table analyses was used to estimate where were possible years of life lost to inequality (YLLI)
Using the mortality attributable to socioeconomic inequality (MASI) statistic as a proportion shows that, for individual age and sex groups, the peak relative effect of inequality is in childhood for both sexes and in working age men: for men aged 40–44 years, as much as 77% of premature mortality is attributable to inequality
Summary

Descriptive studies of inequality in England include classic works such as Charles Booth’s poverty maps of London,[1] and the Black report.[2] The Black report powerfully linked measures of deprivation to health outcomes.
