Ontario rates are presented for two different geographic
levels: DHCs are more relevant for health system analysis; and PHUs are
more relevant for health status measures. (1) Confidence intervals illustrate
the degree of variability associated with the rate. See Technical
Notes.
(2) Life expectancy is produced using three years of
mortality data (1995, 1996, 1997) and the 1996 population estimates.
