This study set out to determine the relevance of social class status and smoking status in lower limb amputees attending a subregional prosthetic rehabilitation centre. Lower limb amputations are more common in social classes III and V and a majority of the amputees are smokers. Inequalities in health and health damaging behaviour in lower social classes are important factors in these at-risk groups.
