Document title: Still the "sick man of Europe”? Scottish Mortality in a European Context, 1950 – 2010: An analysis of comparative mortality trends
Description:

Scotland's poor health profile within Europe is well-known, but health trends are continually changing. This study set out to assess how mortality trends in Scotland have been changing within a European context. The report provides a contemporary summary of Scottish mortality trends over a 60 year period (1950 – 2010) and compares Scotland's mortality position relative to 19 other mainly Western European countries.
