Summary
The following table shows the SMRs (1991-95) for deaths under 65 for all of the 641 British constituencies. These are ranked by their SMR<65, and also divided into population groups of one million people aged under 65. The percentage of households in the constituency living in poverty in 1991 is also given. The column ‘% of avoidable deaths’ refers to the percentage of deaths which would not have occurred had that constituency had the mortality rate of the best off health million. The Party and current (August 1999) Member of Parliament are given in the last two columns.
