"Table 3 - Excess winter mortality1,2 and excess winter mortality index3,4,  by age group and",,,,,,,,,
"   NHS Board Area of usual residence, 1999/2000 to 2005/065",,,,,,,,,


Notes:,,,,,,,,,
1. Excess winter mortality has been defined as the difference between the number of deaths,,,,,,,,,
   in the months December - March and the average of the preceding (August - November),,,,,,,,,
   and following (April - July) non-winter periods. A negative figure occurs when there were,,,,,,,,,
   fewer deaths during the winter period than the average of the non-winter periods.,,,,,,,,,
"2. Because of the approximate nature of this measure, numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10.",,,,,,,,,
   The sum of the age group figures may therefore not be identical to the all ages total.,,,,,,,,,
3. The EWM Index is the number of excess winter deaths divided by the average non-winter ,,,,,,,,,
"    deaths, expressed as a percentage.",,,,,,,,,
4. The EWM Index has not been calculated when the number of excess winter deaths was negative.,,,,,,,,,
5. Data for 2005/06 are provisional.,,,,,,,,,
6. Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Highland include deaths in the former NHS Argyll and Clyde area. ,,,,,,,,,
