Abstract

Social class differences in mortality are widening * Better measures of socioeconomic position show greater inequalities in mortality * Health inequalities have been shown in all countries that collect the relevant data * Social selection and measurement artefacts do not account for mortality differentials * Social class differences exist for health during life as well as for length of life * Trends in the distribution of income suggest that further widening of mortality differentials may be expected

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
