Sources: Ontario Ministry of Health, Mortality Database and Population Estimates Database Ontario is the standard population. * This symbol indicates that the SMR is significantly different than 1 (Ontario). When the SMR is higher than 1 there are more deaths in LGL than you would expect if the age-specific mortality rates in Ontario were applied to the population in LGL. When the SMR is lower than 1 there are fewer deaths in LGL than you would expect if the age-specific mortality rates in Ontario were applied to the population in LGL
