The number in the top row is an age in years. The numbers in the columns below these ages show the number of cumulative excess deaths per 100 000 population (50 000 male and 50 000 female at birth) by that age, based on differences in age-specific/sex-specific mortality rates between (A) Scotland and rUK, (B) Scotland and rWE, (C) UK and rWE, for each birth cohort (by age of birth in single years) indicate by the birth cohort decade. Positive values indicate excess deaths in Scotland (A, B) or the UK (C), and negative values indicate fewer deaths compared with rUK (A) or rWE (B, C).
rUK, rest of the UK; rWE, rest of Western Europe.
