The following table enables comparison to be made of the death-rates from all causes at certain
age-periods in five groups of London sanitary districts arranged in order of the "social condition" of
their population (see page 10 ante). The table shows generally a progressive increase in the deathrates
at each period of life and for each sex coincident with the graduation of the population with
regard to social condition as thus measured:—
