PMR: Proportional Mortality Rate
A way of expressing the relative risk of dying from a disease. It is calculated in slightly different ways from the SMR, but the essential meaning of the statistic is the same: expressed as a ratio, with 100 as the ‘standard’, a value of 200 would imply double the risk in the group concerned, compared to the overall population.
SMR: Standardised Mortality Rate or age-specific mortality rate (ASMR)
A measure of mortality that takes into account the fact that some causes of death are more common at different ages, and so the rate is adjusted for the specific age-bands (or total population age profile) being considered. It might also be given as an Age and Sex specific Mortality Rate for a particular cause.
