| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8R0xBLxa. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective-The objective of this study was to evaluate the magnitude and contributory factors of socioeconomic differentials in mortality in a cohort of Korean male civil servants. Design-A prospective observational study of male civil servants followed up for five years after baseline measurement. Setting-All civil service offices in Korea. Participants and measurements-The study was conducted on 759 665 Korean male public servants aged 30-64 at baseline examination in 1992. The grade of monthly salary of these participants divided into four groups, a proxy indicator of socioeconomic status (SES), was the main predictive variable. Mortality of the participants was followed up from 1992 to 1996. The causes of deaths were categorised into four groups according to the medical amenability : avoidable, partly avoidable, non-avoidable, and external causes of death. The risk of mortality associated with SES was estimated using the Cox proportional hazard model. Main results-Lowest SES group had significantly higher risk of mortality from most causes compared with the highest SES group in the order of external cause (relative risk (RR) : 2.26), avoidable (RR : 1.65), all cause (RR : 1.59), and non-avoidable mortality (RR : 1.54). With the adjustment of known risk factors, significantly higher risks of mortality in lowest SES group were attenuated but persisted. (...) |
