Abstract

Des études récentes consacrées à la mortalité dans les pays développés montrent que les inégalités sociales de mortalité persistent et mettent en évidence l’existence de mortalité différentielle selon le statut socioéconomique et la nature des relations sociales. Au Luxembourg, de tels travaux font encore défaut, let l’objectif de ce texte est de mesurer les disparités sociales de mortalité concernant les cinq principales causes de décès dans le pays de 2002 à 2006. Les données utilisées proviennent de la base de données relative aux hospitalisations de l’Assurance Maladie. Les cinq principales causes de décès regroupées en chapitres de la classification internationale des maladies (CIM 10) sont : les maladies tumorales, les maladies de l’appareil circulatoire, les maladies du système respiratoire, les maladies du système digestif et les maladies du système nerveux. Les deux caractéristiques socioéconomiques sont le régime professionnel et la nationalité. Les principaux résultats montrent que les inégalités de décès par cause sont globalement modérées en ce qui concerne le régime professionnel et la nationalité, tant chez les femmes que chez les hommes. Au final, avec un système d’information sanitaire amélioré, la recherche axée sur la mesure des disparités sociales de mortalité permet d’appréhender le rôle que peuvent jouer les inégalités d’exposition aux principaux facteurs de risque qu’analyse l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) dans son rapport sur la santé dans le monde de 2002 (sédentarité, IMC élevé, Hypertension artérielle, tabagisme, hypercholestérolémie, consommation insuffisante des fruits et légumes) en fonction des caractéristiques sociodémographiques et économiques.
