Mortality rates for non-Indigenous men • Higher mortality in more remote areas is not due exclusively to the higher proportion of Indigenous males. • Compared with non-Indigenous males in Major cities, non-Indigenous male death rates were still 10–20% higher. A non-Indigenous boy born in a Very remote area in 2006 could expect to live to 77.7 years (compared to 80.8 years in Major cities) Source: AIHW National Mortality Database.
