  25. Conclusions: Trends 1971-1996 • Lower mortality for all income quintiles, both sexes, and for most causes • Persistence of an income gradient, though less steep than formerly • affects females as well as males, though less sharply • highest relative risks in working ages (25-64) • Elimination of the remaining disparities would result in gains in potential years of life equivalent to eradicating one of the three leading causes of death

  26. Conclusions: Trends 1971-1996 (cont.) • Throughout this period, there were substantially diminished differences across the income quintiles, overall and for most causes of death • many causes showed remarkable progress: reduced mortality and diminished differences • a few causes showed higher mortality and greater inequality • timing of the changes varied by cause
