Although there has been extensive research which documents a negative association between socioeconomic status and mortality, the specific pathways through which individual components of socioeconomic status affect mortality remain obscure. This dissertation makes the following contributions to the understanding of socioeconomic differentials in adult mortality. First, it provides a comprehensive review of studies that examine the impact of socioeconomic status and adult mortality in the United States looking at data from the 1860s to present. Second, it lays out a conceptual model describing the pathways through which individual measures of socioeconomic status may influence mortality. Third, it examines the association between education and income and a large set of risk factors for mortality. Fourth, it evaluates the ability of these risk factors to explain mortality differentials by education and income. The data are from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) and the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (NHEFS). These data provide a unique resource for assessing the effects of baseline sociodemographic, health, behavioral, and nutritional factors on future mortality in a large, heterogeneous sample that is representative of the United States adult population.
