Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how mental and substance use disorders affect people differently based on their education level in Denmark and Norway from 2011 to 2021.
- Researchers found that people with lower education experienced more serious issues, especially with disorders like schizophrenia and substance abuse.
- However, for disorders like eating, anxiety, and mood disorders, the differences were smaller between educated and less educated groups, but they made up a smaller part of the overall health problems.
Aims: Mortality associated with mental disorders has been estimated using metrics such as mortality rate ratios and life expectancy. However, the variation around the average life expectancy has never been quantified. The main aim of this study was to measure life disparity for people with mental disorders as a measure of inequality at the time of death.

- The study examines how socioeconomic position (SEP) influences the relationship between mental disorders and mortality rates, highlighting a lack of existing research on this topic.
- Researchers utilized various databases to compile observational studies that link mental disorders to mortality rates, while considering different SEP levels and specific causes of death.
- The results, based on data from over 4 million individuals, indicate that higher SEP is associated with lower overall and natural cause mortality among those with mental disorders, although it correlates with higher mortality from external causes.
Background: Although overall health status in the last decades improved, health inequalities due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) persist between and within European countries. There is a lack of studies giving insights into health inequalities related to NCDs in the European Economic Area (EEA) countries. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to quantify health inequalities in age-standardized disability adjusted life years (DALY) rates for NCDs overall and 12 specific NCDs across 30 EEA countries between 1990 and 2019.

While participation in surveys has been shown to be lower among those with mental disorders, misclassification and limited information on confounders are typical issues for registers.
