New atlas of mortality published today

As you may have seen in today's news, the Policy Press has just published
'The Grim Reaper's road map: An atlas of mortality in Britain' by Mary
Shaw, Bethan Thomas, Danny Dorling and George Davey Smith. This new study
is the first in over two decades to explore causes of death across the UK
and provides a fascinating account of how and why we die.

It analyses almost 15 million death records for the period 1981 to 2004. It
looks at deaths by cause, gender and geographical area and is displayed in
a series of area maps with accompanying commentary. The atlas maps
Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) for all deaths, for nine groupings of
categories and for 99 single categories of death. 14,833,696 death records
were used to draw up the maps.
