Deaths - Background Information

Deaths by Specific Causes

The following sections contain information and data on specific causes of death in Scotland:

Winter Mortality
This section presents current and previous data on 'winter mortality' in Scotland.

Death Time Series data
This page contains datasets in Excel format that may be particularly useful for users who would like the same data for a series of different years rather than just for one year.

Age-standardised death rates calculated using the European Standard Population
This provides death rates which have been 'standardised' using the European Standard Population, to show any trend in the underlying rates of death. Statistics are available for all causes of death taken together, and for a number of specific causes, for all persons and for each sex, separately for people of all ages and for those aged under 75.

Deaths statistics available from other web sites
This page will direct you to some other official web sites which have statistics on deaths, including some figures for areas within Scotland and for other parts of the UK.
