Overview

Randomized trial examines the link between social mobility and mortality across three decades, suggesting minimal positive effects.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how social mobility relates to all-cause mortality over distinct time periods in Northern Ireland.
  • Linked census returns from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study for 1991, 2001, and 2011 with mortality data.
  • Developed an index of disadvantage using variables like educational attainment and occupational social class.
  • Analyzed mortality rates and social mobility across three census periods.
  • All-cause mortality is positively linked to increasing social disadvantage, with hazard ratios for the most disadvantaged populations at 3.23, 5.09, and 5.30 for 1991, 2001, and 2011, respectively.
  • Downward social mobility is associated with increased mortality rates over time.
  • Increases in social mobility show little effect on reducing mortality.
