You asked

In relation to the monthly mortality analysis, England and Wales, January 2023 published on 23 February 2023:

Please can you provide the 5 year age band components of the under 75 person age standardised mortality (ASM) figures for England, for each month from January 2021 to January 2023 (inclusive of both). Or alternatively can you please provide the age specific mortality rates for those 5 year age bands used to calculate these under age 75 ASMs.

That is the breakdown of the person figures in the accompanying Monthly Mortality Analysis dataset in cells K6 to K30 of sheet 4 (Age-standardised mortality rates by sex, ages 0 to 74 years, deaths registered in January 2001 to January 2023, England) into the 5 year components from which the under 75 rate is calculated (or the corresponding age specific mortality rates if this is easier to provide).

If it is not possible to provide figures for all these 5 year age groups, please can you supply the 5 year components or age specific rates above, for the 5 year age groups from age 40-44 upwards
