The Standardised Mortality Rates (SMRs) compare local death rates with national ones. They are calculated by dividing the actual number of deaths in an area by the number that would be expected using National death rates by ages and sex of the population. The resulting number is multiplied by 100. If an area has an SMR of 100, this indicates that local death rates are similar to National rates. If they are greater than 100, this indicates higher death rates than the national average and vice versa. SMRs are often used as proxy indicators for illness and health within an area. SMRs can also be calculated for different portions of the population eg by sex and for differing age groups, and also for particular diseases. The results are calculated by TVCA over the latest five year period, and are shown for the under 64, the 65+ and the total population for both males and females. It should be noted that the relatively small numbers of deaths in particular categories in smaller areas mean the figures can be somewhat volatile. No adjustment has been made for hospitals, care homes, respite homes etc. Source: TVCA using ONS data.
