Note The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) provides a single measure of fertility, by summing age-specific rates for each single year of age in the reproductive age range. The TFR represents the average number of children per woman that would be born to a group of women if current age-specific patterns of fertility persisted throughout their childbearing life.

Note Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) compare the actual number of deaths in a particular area with the expected number of deaths based on mortality rates of a reference population (in this case, the United Kingdom). SMRs enable comparison of mortality information across a range of areas and make allowance for the differing age structures of the population in different areas. If local mortality rates are high compared with the reference area, the number of deaths observed will be greater than the expected number and the index will be greater than 100; and vice-versa.
