چکیده
Analytical techniques Within each CMA, the non-institutional population and deaths were grouped into neighbourhood income quintiles on the basis of the CT percentage of population below Canada's low-income cut-offs. Life expectancy at birth, probability of survival to age 75, potential years of life lost (PYLL), and income-related excess PYLL before age 75 were calculated, as were age-specific mortality rates and agestandardized mortality rates (ASMRs) for major causes of death.
