title: London and Glasgow:  a spatial analysis of mortality experience in contrasting metropolitan centres.
abstract: "Mortality data for ischaemic heart disease and lung-bronchus cancer in the 29 metropolitan boroughs of London and the 37 electoral wards of Glasgow are standardised for age and sex relative to an all-U.K. norm.  The standardised mortality ratios (S.M.R.) obtained, when expressed in map form, reveal marked spatial inequalities.  A relationship with social class and concomitant housing and living standards is indicated."
