UK ONS: Premature mortality gaps persist by ethnicity, education, deprivation

ONS data for England and Wales (Mar 2021–Dec 2023) show all-cause premature mortality (ages 18–74) remains higher in more deprived quintiles and among lower-qualification groups, with ethnic disparities persisting. The report quantifies sociodemographic inequalities but does not identify new drivers or policy shifts. It matters as a baseline for public-health targeting and resource allocation.
