Abstract: BackgroundCanada is among the world’s leading nations with the longest life expectancy at birth (LE0), and British Columbia (BC) ranks top among Canadian provinces and territories for LE0 in both men and women.

“…[13][14][15][16] While studies clearly showed the differences in life expectancy, little is known about the contributions of cause of death and risk factors associated with sex and SES. In this analysis, we showed that drug overdose deaths alone explained approximately 9% of LE 0 loss in males in 2016, compared to females.…”

“…Introduction L'association entre l'état de santé et le statut socioéconomique (SSE) est largement documentée [1][2][3] . En particulier, les publications scientifiques internationales et canadiennes accumulent de plus en plus de données probantes indiquant que la mortalité toutes causes confondues et la mortalité par cause sont plus élevées chez les personnes ayant un faible SSE, phénomène qui a pu être observé à l'aide de données socioéconomiques individuelles 4-10 comme de données socioéconomiques à échelle fine tenant compte ou non du SSE individuel 4,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] .…”
