Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMR's)
Standardised mortality ratios are commonly used for comparing death rates in areas that have a different population age and sex structure. An SMR of 100 suggests that local mortality rates are the same as London mortality rates when age and sex differences in the two populations are taken into account.
Scores over 100 suggest higher than average for mortality in an area, scores less than 100 suggest lower than average mortality.
For instance, an SMR would suggest that half as many people as would be expected are dying within a given time period than in London as a whole.
A table showing SMR's for all people and under 75's can be found in the attached files at the bottom of the page.
|TopTeenage Pregnancy
The most recent ward level teenage pregnancy statistics have been calculated by the Haringey Primary Care Trust (PCT). Therefore the Haringey average maybe slightly different than what was recorded nationally by the Teenage Pregnancy Unit (TPU).

|TopLow Birth Weight Babies
Low birth weight is defined as an infant being born at or below 2,500 grams (about 5.5 pounds). Babies weighing less than 5.5 pounds at birth are more likely to experience both physical and developmental problems than babies weighing more than 5.5 pounds at birth.
A table showing ward level low weight baby statistics can be found in the attached files at the bottom of the page.
|TopLife Expectancy
An estimate of the number of years a new-born baby would survive, were he or she to experience the particular area’s age-specific mortality rates for that time period (2000-2004) throughout his or her life.
