National GRIM books
The National GRIM books are interactive Excel books containing national mortality data, indexed by year of registration, age and sex, for specific causes of death or combinations of causes of death (according to ICD- 10). They have been set up to enable mortality data to be analysed over the period 1900-2010. However, data for all years and every cause of death may not always be available and thus, the starting year for each cause of death varies. Most of the National GRIM books start in 1907 and all include the latest year of mortality data available.
The following workbooks covering the major disease groups are provided, and showcase the information available in the National GRIM Books:
