abstract="External cause mortality affects disproportionately those at younger ages and, when age at death is taken into account, external causes are of comparable importance to heart disease and cancer.  <p>The present paper uses Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL), a measure of mortality which includes age at death, to examine trends in external cause mortality, by social class, in England and Wales.</p>  <p>Deaths from external causes have fallen most in the more advantaged social classes, producing wider inequalities. Different categories of external cause have changed in opposite directions; traffic accidents have fallen but suicides have increased.</p>  <p>Suicide and traffic accidents remain prime policy targets. A new initiative on traffic accidents is proposed.<br /> </p>",
