Geographical variations in limiting long-term illness persist even after accounting for individual factors. The 1991 Census Sample of Anonymized Records (SARs) reveals these persistent spatial inequalities in health.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Background:

  • The 1991 Census of England, Wales, and Scotland introduced enhanced geographical detail on limiting long-term illness.
  • The release of Sample of Anonymized Records (SARs) provided unprecedented sub-regional individual-level data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore individual and geographical variations in morbidity using multilevel analysis.
  • To identify factors contributing to differences in limiting long-term illness across geographic areas.

Main Methods:

  • Multilevel analysis of the 1991 Census Sample of Anonymized Records (SARs).
  • Examination of individual-level data including age, sex, ethnicity, housing tenure, social class, and car ownership.
  • Geographical analysis at the sub-regional level.

Main Results:

  • Significant geographical differences in morbidity were observed.
  • These spatial variations in illness persisted even after controlling for a range of individual-level socio-demographic and housing factors.
  • The SARs data enabled a fine-grained analysis of health inequalities.

Conclusions:

  • Geographic location is an independent determinant of limiting long-term illness.
  • Public health interventions should consider spatial variations in morbidity.
  • The 1991 Census SARs are a valuable resource for studying health inequalities.
