  1. Typologies are assigned according to underlying trends in mortality rates, taking the study period as a whole. Where the trend on the typology plot clearly changes over time, two typologies are assigned to a given mortality. A bold underlined component of the typology indicates that particular trend was found to be significant at the 95% level (p < 0.05)
