This category includes all infections; the main sub-categories are listed in the table below.
Rates from all infectious causes are more than twice the national average of death in most of Inner London, inner Glasgow, parts of Edinburgh, Manchester, Middlesbrough and Birmingham. Rates are lower than average in areas that surround most of these population centres but which tend to be a long car commute away from them. Between these rural commuter villages and the inner cities there is a four-fold gradient in risk of death from infection. The reasons for these patterns might include a combination of the following: lower chances of infection in the first place, better treatment if and when infected, and also possibly migration from urban centres of people with better general health.
The average age of death from these causes is 66.1 years. They are almost equally distributed between males and females, but the age distributions show a slightly higher risk for young men than for young women.
