Age-standardized mortality rates per 100,000 person-years at risk for selected causes of death, by educational attainment, age group and sex, 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 sex, age group at baseline and 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).
