standardized mortality ratio
standardized mortality ratio a way of calculating death rates in terms of the average for the group or population and then determining the degree to which local populations vary from that standard. For example, 100 is the number given to the average death rate for the UK and areas with SMRs of less than 100 have better life chances than areas where the SMR is above 100.
