The table shows the high relative loss of working years by cancer,
coronary disease, other heart diseases, and bronchitis and pneumonia
especially among females.
The figures have been adjusted for the age and sex difference
between Finsbury and the country as a whole.
The table brings out the following points:—
(1) The working years lost by men in Finsbury has been less than
the average, but the reverse held for women, and for both
sexes the total years of life lost, supposing 85 to be the normal
age of death, were greater in Finsbury.
(2) The years of life lost through deaths from bronchitis and
pneumonia were strikingly greater than for the country
(except that the working years lost by men were fewer) and
the same relation applied also to Tuberculosis, and all cancers
in both sexes and coronary and other heart diseases in men
though not to the same extent.
(3) The years of life lost through deaths from vascular lesions of
the central nervous system and from accidents in both sexes,
and from coronary and other heart diseases in women, have
been considerably fewer in Finsbury.
Maternal Mortality.
There were no maternal deaths during the year.
