Explanations of Life Expenctancy Table

The mortality figures shown in the table above are based on the 2001 Census. These are the only population figures currently available.There is a probable shortfall of approximately 6.6% between the official Census count and subsequent mid-year estimates, and you are therefore advised to bear this factor of inaccuracy in mind n when using the above table.

• Low weight births: the percentage of live and stillborn infants born with a birth weight of less than 2,500 grams.
• Limiting long-term illness (LLTI): the number of residents having a limiting long-term illness, health problem or disability expressed as an indirectly standardised ratio. A ratio of 150 means that there were 50% more people with a LLTI than were expected. Conversely a ratio of 50 means that there were only half the expected number of people with a LLTI.
• "Poor" health: the number of residents reporting that their health in the last 12 months was "not good" or "poor" expressed as an indirectly standardised ratio. A ratio of 150 means that there were 50% more people in "poor" health than were expected. Conversely a ratio of 50 means that there were only half the expected number of people in "poor" health.
• Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR): The ratio of the actual number of deaths for selected causes in an area compared to the number of deaths that would have been expected if the population had the same age and sex specific death rates as England and Wales. A ratio of 150 means that there were 50% more deaths than were expected. Conversely a ratio of 50 means that there were only half the expected number of deaths.
