TY - JOUR AU - Faeh, David AU - Bopp, Matthias AU - Swiss National Cohort Study Group PY - 2010 DA - 2010/09/22 TI - Educational inequalities in mortality and associated risk factors: German- versus French-speaking Switzerland JO - BMC Public Health SP - 567 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - Between the French- and German-speaking areas of Switzerland, there are distinct differences in mortality, similar to those between Germany and France. Assessing corresponding inequalities may elucidate variations in mortality and risk factors, thereby uncovering public health potential. Our aim was to analyze educational inequalities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the two Swiss regions and to compare this with inequalities in behavioural risk factors and self-rated health.
