| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to assess social inequalities in overall mortality in a representative sample of the Italian population, and to evaluate the contribution of behavioural and metabolic risk (BMF) factors to these inequalities. 85,308 participants aged 25-74 years from the Italian Longitudinal Study were included in the study population and followed up for mortality (1999-2012). Level of education was used as a proxy for socioeconomic status. The contribution of BMF was estimated assessing the attenuation of the risk by education produced by the inclusion of BMF in regression model. Men with the lowest education had 62% and women had 57% greater risk of dying than those with the highest education. Among men, adjustment for BMF produced an attenuation of the mortality risk between extreme classes of education by 22%, while among women the risk attenuation was 7%. Large educational differences in mortality were observed for both men and women. BMF reduced by approximately 20% differences in mortality relative risk between extreme classes of education in men. In contrast, a very low contribution was observed in women. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 March 2018.
All research outputs
#15,745,807
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Public Health
#1,211
of 1,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,063
of 449,219 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Public Health
#18
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,900 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.8. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,219 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
