  abstract     = {{Higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with lower mortality. This has been confirmed<br/>using different indicators across several geographical settings. Nevertheless, the mechanisms<br/>behind this association are still under debate. In particular, the timing of the emergence of the<br/>SES gradient remains an open question. In this paper, we study the development of SES<br/>inequalities in cause-specific mortality for a regional population in southern Sweden from the<br/>early nineteenth century until 2014. We apply a cause-specific hazard model to estimate mortality<br/>differentials by SES. Our results confirm that the SES differences we see today emerged only<br/>around 1970. More importantly, our study demonstrates that, with few exceptions, SES<br/>differences emerged about the same time for all causes of death. For women it started earlier than<br/>for men, particularly in infectious diseases. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century we find<br/>a positive association between SES and mortality from circulatory diseases for men. We argue<br/>that habits and behaviors embedded in the different social strata played a major role behind the<br/>SES differences in mortality that we observe throughout the analyzed period.}},
