Age-standardized mortality rates per 100,000 person-years at risk for selected causes of death, by educational attainment, male cohort members aged 25 or older at baseline, Canada 1991 to 2006
Table summary
This table displays the results of age-standardized mortality rates per 100. The information is grouped by cause of death (appearing as row headers), total, university degree, post- secondary diploma, secondary graduation, less than secondary graduation, rr, rd, excess and % excess (appearing as column headers).
Cause of death	Total	University degree	Post- secondary diploma	Secondary graduation	Less than secondary graduation	RR	RD	Excess	% excess
