The Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) is the ratio of observed to expected deaths in an area multiplied by 100. The expected deaths were derived by applying the average age-specific death rates for Wales to the corresponding age-specific resident populations of the areas. The age groups used were: 0 to 4, 5 to 9, . . .,80 to 84, 85 and over. The figures presented relate to the deaths registered in the calendar year and have been averaged over 3 year periods. The figures presented relate to the deaths registered in the calendar year.
These SMRs allow Unitary Authorities to be compared with Wales in a given 3 year period, for males, females and persons separately. They do not allow comparisons to be made by gender or over time. An SMR higher than 100 would show that the area had higher death rates than the Wales average and an SMR lower than 100 would show that the area had lower death rates than the Wales average.
