Inequality among men in standardised years of potential life lost, 1970-93 [PDF]
BMJ, 1998 Information was published last year about the social class distribution of premature deaths in England and Wales during 1991-3.1 We analysed these deaths in terms of standardised years of potential life lost, a measure that takes account of the age at death as well as death itself. We considered only men of working age because of the importance of this
