This section presents data on the seasonal increase in mortality in the winter in Scotland. For the purpose of these statistics, the seasonal increase in mortality in the winter has been defined as the difference between the number of deaths in the four 'winter' months (December to March) and the average of the numbers of deaths in the two four month periods which precede winter (August to November) and follow winter (April to July).
