I will be explaining the patterns and trends within social groupings such as Social Class & Gender, Ethnicity and Locality.

   

Even though there are laws enforced, women are less paid then men. In recent survey by Higher Education Statistics Agency, women that have degrees averagely are paid less then men. Males ear £1,000 more than their female college classmates within three years after leaving higher education. There is a possibility that women fly straight into high paid jobs with 40% of men earning over £25,000 a year compared with 26% of women three years after graduating.

The higher death rate for male can associated with higher levels of smoking cigarettes and alcoholic consumption by men, and how they involve themselves in more risky sports and daring activities. The relatively high death rate of young males age 17-24 particularly associated with risk-taking and the linked deaths from road accidents.

                                                                                        

Individuals from minority ethnic groups were found to self-report poor health more recurring and visit their GP more often especially Indian subcontinent. Individuals form South Asia have fairly higher occurrence of coronary heart disease.

Evidence for a linked between race and ill health can be hard to study because it there are difficulties identifying a individual’s race type. A proportion of people from smaller ethnic groups live in areas of deprivation in inner-city areas with linked pollution, poor housing and unemployment, there can be difficulties defining whether they have poorer health due to ethnicity or poverty. A comparison to higher of coronary heart disease.

A comparison to higher ethnic group of Caucasian s indicate:

• Majority if smaller ethnic groups have higher infant mortality
• Majority of smaller ethnic groups have a shorter life expectancy
• There is a higher occurrence of rickets in children from the Asian sub- continent because of lack of vitamin D

Also a key indicator of health, the infant mortality rate fell significantly over the 20th century as outcome in part of better- quality living conditions and technological development and enhanced healthcare. Although the father’s socio-economic status highest IMR incidence in weight are aspects that all raise the chances of infant death.  

There are also various regions in patterns of health and illness. Morbidity and morality rates are different in parts of the country and also within towns and cities in the UK. There could also be a possibility that there are poorer regions and poorer parts of cities that have higher levels of illness that are date.

For example, there has been research that there are regional trends in the occurrence of lung cancer across the UK. In England, the rates for lung cancer are higher than average in the north- west, northern and Yorkshire regions and below average in the south –western, southern and eastern regions.
