It will be noted that there were no cases notified in infants
under 1 year of age, no deaths registered amongst children
between 1 and 5 years of age, and only 2 deaths registered in
children between 5 and 10 years; whilst the greatest number
of both cases and deaths occurred amongst adults between 20
and 40 years, and the mortality-rate was greatest also amongst
persons at the same age periods.
Sub dividing the Typhoid cases and deaths amongst the
various Registration Sub-Districts, it will be seen that the casemortality
is slightly lower in the Inner than in the Outer
Districts, viz., 14.6 per cent., as compared with 19.6 per cent.
The reason for this is not clear, as the contrary generally is the
case, the case-mortality being greater in the Inner, more
congested, and less sanitary Districts. The incidence of the
disease in the Inner and Outer Districts respectively is practically
the same.
Details as to the incidence of the disease during 1903 upon
the different Registration Sub-districts of the Borough of
Lambeth are as follow:-
