Deprivation and mortality in Glasgow: changes from 1980 to 1992

Abstract

Numbers of deaths by sex and 10 year age band were available for 1980-82 and 1990-92 for people aged 15-64 residing in the area covered by the Greater Glasgow Health Board. Using the 1981 and 1991 census populations for Greater Glasgow as denominators we calculated standardised mortality ratios and confidence intervals. The standardised mortality ratio for the whole of Glasgow in 1980-82 was taken as 100.
