rate at all ages, followed by Gray's Inn Lane and Tottenham Court, the deathrate
is more largely infantile in proportion to the population at other ages.
Whereas the death-rate from phthisis, mainly a disease of adults due to conditions
of housing and occupation is highest in Tottenham Court, followed by
Gray's Inn Lane, and then by Somers Town. The death-rate of the infantile
respiratory, infectious, and zymotic diseases are highest in Somers Town. But
the influences adverse to infant and child-life generally appear to be greatest
in Gray's Inn Lane and Tottenham Court, followed at some little distance by
Somers Town.
The age and sex distribution of the population in a given area must be
reckoned with in considering the birth and death-rates.
Unfortunately the age and sex of the populations in Sub-Districts are not
published.
