Tables F, G, H and I shew the uncorrected returns (male and
female) arranged as to Registration Sub-Districts, age periods,
and quarters respectively, and are given for comparison with
similar tables in former Lambeth Reports.
The place that the Borough of Lambeth takes amongst the
Metropolitan Sanitary Districts is worthy of note, there being 16
other districts (out of 29) with a less death-rate, 10 with a less
zymotic death-rate, and 7 with a less infantile mortality. Taking
the South Metropolitan Districts, Wandsworth has a general
death-rate per 1,000 of the population of 13,5, Battersea 15.0,
and Camberwell 16.3, as compared with Lambeth 17.7, Bermondsey
20.8, and Southwark 21.4, respectively.
London, as a whole, has a birth-rate of 28.4, corrected deathrate
of 17.2, a zymotic (death-) rate of 2.2 per 1,000 population,
and an infantile mortality of 141 per 1,000 births.
Age-Periods of Corrected Deaths.
The 5387 corrected deaths may be further analysed, and tabulated
as follow:—
1155, i.e., 21.4 per cent. of the total corrected) deaths
took place under 1 year of age
567, i e., 10.5 „ between 1 and 5 years.
1722, i.e., 31.9 „ under 5 years.
282, i.e., 5.2 ,, between 5 and 20 years.
672, i.e., 12.5 „ 20 to 40 years.
1106, i.e., 20.5 ,, 40 to 60 years.
1302, i.e., 24.2 ,, 60 to 80 years.
303, i.e., 5.6 „ 80 years and over.
3665, i.e., 68.03 ,, over 5 years.
These results may be compared with those for London given
in Table F, which shows the estimated mortalities per 1,000
persons at each age-period for London during 1902, and the London
averages for the 10 years 1881-90.
