ABSTRACT
Background. To show the inequalities in premature mortality according to indicators of material welfare inNavarre.
Methods. All citizens under 75 years of age living inNavarre in 2001 were monitored for seven years to determine their vital status. House size and number of household vehicles was used as the socioeconomic status indicator. The age-adjusted total mortality rate and mortality rate from cause-specific mortality were estimated by these indicators.
Results. The rate ratio for all causes of death in the lower categories depending on house size is 1.14 (IC 95%: 1.05-1.24) and 1.25 (IC 95%: 1.18-1.32) in women and men respectively and 1.46 (IC 95%: 1.36-1.57) and 1.97 (IC 95%: 1.89-2.05) depending on the number of vehicles. AIDS is the leading cause of death having a greater difference in mortality rates among people with lower and higher material welfare. Other causes of death with a high difference in mortality rates are digestive diseases and diabetes mellitus in women and digestive diseases and respiratory diseases in men.
Conclusions. The mortality rate in theNavarre population shows an inverse gradient to material welfare, except for some cancer sites. This gradient is higher among men than among women.
Key words. Premature mortality. Material welfare.
