The Income deprivation indicator is derived from SIMD 2012, more information on this deprivation index can be found at: http://simd.scotland.gov.uk/publication-2012 4. Life expectancies are calculated based on population estimates and death registrations. 95% confidence intervals have been added on the graphs to give an indication of their accuracy. The x-axes of the life expectancy graphs give the mid-year for each life expectancy estimate e.g. the most recent estimate, denoted by 2012 represents the life expectancy estimate for the period 2010 - 2014. 5.A notes and definitions document providing further information on the variables presented in the profile can be found in the Profiles section of http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/council/community-councils/. 6.
