Equally, the level of poverty, as measured by headcount ratio, does not explain differentials in the incidence rate.
The differential trends in the incidence by deprivation group, lethality and sex seem to be commensurate with the observed trends in survival.
In a universal healthcare system, differential changes in the incidence of treatable disease should not affect the socio-economic gradient in amenable mortality by virtue of being treatable.
There are also differential time trends in the incidence of proximal and distal sub-sites (Snyder et al, 1977; Beart et al, 1983; Vobecky et al, 1984; Jass, 1991; Kee et al, 1992).
In addition, little is known about the differential factors affecting the incidence of mental disorders in male and female combatants deployed to OEF/OIF [ 36].
Some differences in risk factors between sexes may partially explain the observed differential in socioeconomically patterned incidence, such as the observed excess of binge drinking in men and lower levels of physical activity in women (Bromley et al, 2010).
The differential increase in incidence among the south Asian population also has implications for healthcare resource planners in the region.
Furthermore, by examining the same young cohort at risk across multiple adverse outcomes, we have found that the gender differentials in criminality incidence rates were far greater than those for mortality and psychiatric morbidity adverse outcomes.
We have addressed lifestyle and socioeconomic status using the available baseline data on smoking habits, physical activity, years of education, and occupational status, but we acknowledge that these cannot capture all the complexities of the nonmetabolic explanations for ethnic differentials in diabetes incidence.
