Section 6: Deaths - Causes
Correction 3 August 2016
We regret that the rows were misaligned in the originally published version of Table 6.13. The first three rows of the table were correct but thereafter all rows of numbers should have moved down one row to match up correctly with the labels on the left. There was also a duplicate row at the bottom of the table.
We apologise for any problems that may have been caused by this error.
Information about the basis of the statistics is available from the Vital Events – General Background Information and the Deaths – Background Information pages of this website. A visualisation of Causes of death, Scotland, 2002-2014 can be found on the Infographics and Visualisations page of this website.
For example, notes on the lists of causes of death and the definition of ‘years of life lost’ are available via the latter page.
