title: [Social position and life expectancy. A cohort-specific analysis with data of socioeconomic factors].
abstract: The impact of social position on mortality has been explained by a variety of underlying causes, among which different living conditions and life-styles of social strata, different working conditions, and a selection process are the most important. This study relies on an indirect method of evaluating cohort mortality and life expectancy. The results confirm considerable impact of social status on life expectancy. Furthermore, living conditions as well as working conditions seem of relevance, whereas a simple selection process is falsified.
