  		FIGURE 2—— Age- and race-adjusted relative risks of all-cause mortality among US men and women, by 1990 area deprivation index derived from Poisson regression models: 1969–1998.

Note. All relative risks for men and women aged younger than 25 years and 25 to 44 years and for men aged 45 to 64 years were significant at P < .01. Relative risks for women aged 45 to 64 years were significant at P < .05. Whereas most relative risks were significant for men aged 65 years or older at P < .05, only those associated with the fourth and fifth deprivation quintiles between 1993 and 1998 were significant for women aged 65 years or older.
