    The deaths in the civil population of London during 1927 numbered 55,170, giving a death rate of 12.1 as compared with 11.6 in 1926 and 11.9 in 1925. The distribution of the deaths by ages in 1927 and recent preceding periods is shown in the following table:—
    Year.0—1—2—5—10—15—20—25—35—45—55—65 +All ages.
  • Page 7
    It will be seen from the following table that the principal cause of the low rate was the decreased mortality from diarrhœa, due to a cool summer.
