Footnotes: Some other tables which provide figures by age-group give the number of drug-related deaths of people who were aged under 25. However, this column's figures are for ages 15-24, inclusive, as there are very few drug-related deaths of people aged 0-14. Some other tables which provide figures by age-group give the number of drug-related deaths of people who were aged 55 and over. However, this column's figures are for ages 55-64, inclusive, as there are few drug-related deaths of people aged 65 and over. Including ages 0-14 and 65+. he rates for 2002 to 2011 differ slightly from the ones that were published in the previous edition in August 2013. This is because the figures for those years have been recalculated using 'rebased' estimates of the mid-year population which take account of the results of the 2011 Census. (The 'rebased' estimates for 2002 to 2010 were not published until December 2013, and so were not available when the previous edition was prepared.) One can see that some of the figures for 2005 to 2011 have been revised if one compares the previous and current versions of this table; for all the other rates for 2002 to 2011, the revisions do not change what is displayed in the table (i.e. the value of the rate when it is given to two decimal places).
