Deprivation
This page has not changed since its previous publication in February 2011.
Deprivation, as measured by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), is associated with higher rates of cerebrovascular disease mortality. Data shown in Table DS1 is based on General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) deaths data for the years 2005-2009.
Key points (from February 2011 release):
- There is a positive relationship between deprivation and mortality rates for Cerebrovascular Disease. The relationship is stronger in the under 65s where the Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) is almost 4 times higher for the most deprived 10% of the population compared to the least deprived 10% (see Table DS1).
