title: [Socioeconomic and cultural inequalities in Montreal's death rate at the end of the 1980s].
abstract: "This study examines the socio-economic and cultural inequalities of the mortality rate [in Montreal, Canada,] using an ecological approach at the census tract level.  The proportion of poor individuals, as estimated from the income and size of private households, was used as a measure of socio-economic status, while the proportion of immigrants was used as a measure of cultural status.  Each death was classified in relation to the proportion of poor and the percentage of immigrants found in the residential sector of the dead according to the 1986 census statistics.  The results show that substantial differences exist in Montreal based on income; and significant disparities were also found according to the quintile of immigrants and the combination of income and immigrant tertiles."
