Description
An account of the resource
The relationship between social class and 1980 heart disease (HD) mortality in eight urban U.S. counties was examined by regressing age and sex adjusted census tract specific HD rates (N = 1211) on tract social class characteristics. The regression model indicated that lower middle class residents experienced a HD mortality rate 1.9 (95% CI = 1.3, 2.8) times the rate in the upper middle/middle class, while the working poor experienced a HD rate 4.4 (95% CI = 3.5, 5.7) times the rate in the referent class. Similar class effects were seen for both black and nonblack residents. The crude race effect (1.3 with 95% CI = 1.2, 1.4) was explainable by the concentration of blacks in the lower classes. The methods illustrate the ecologic regression of mixtures of mortality rates on mixtures of exposure in the presence of random tract effects which eliminates some of the problems associated with small denominators or zero rates in some tracts.

Description
An account of the resource
Variation in heart disease (HD) mortality rates across census tracts is greater than expected given binomial error and available explanatory variables. We extended an extra-binomial variation model for rates standardized by the direct method. The overdispersion parameter accounted for 36 per cent of the observed variation in standardized rates. Ignoring overdispersion resulted in a change in an estimate of the effect of social class on HD mortality and substantial underestimation of the error of the estimates of such effects. Ecologic regression on the proportional mixture of social classes within tracts provided an appealing approach to the problem of estimating fixed effects with aggregated data.
