Glasgow City Region
Age standardised death rates for Glasgow City RegionClick on graph to expand
Mortality rates decreased in the period from 1991 to 2010 in all the Glasgow City Region local authorities. From 2010 onwards to 2019 mortality rates rose in Scotland and in all areas. In 2020, there was a further, sharp rise in mortality rates as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which emerged in Scotland in early 2020.
The mortality rate in Glasgow is the highest in the Glasgow region. In contrast, East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire have consistently had the lowest mortality rates.
The recent rises in mortality, that predate the pandemic (i.e. pre-2020) have been studied in detail and further information on the rises and their causes can be found on the ScotPHO pages on recent mortality trends.
Note
Age sex standardised mortality rates control for the age structure of populations and therefore allow comparison of mortality rates between different areas.
More detailed data on deaths in Scotland can be accessed from National Records of Scotland.
