Abstract
Bopp and Minder’s paper1 is the most welcome first report from the Swiss National Cohort Study. This study links data from the 1990 Swiss national census with subsequent death records, so far 1990–1997. The study supplements the cross-sectional Swiss Health Survey, providing the first longitudinal data on the social distribution of health, as indexed by mortality, in Switzerland.Keywords
