DEATHS.
The net number of deaths registered during 1935 was 1,043
of which 533 were males and 510 females. This gives a crude Death
Rate for the Borough of 10.83, which figure is slightly increased to
11.04 when the comparability factor furnished by the Registrar
General for adjusting Local Deaths is taken into account.
The Comparability Factor for Greenwich is the same as last
year, viz., 1.02 and may be regarded as the population handicap
to be applied, which, when multiplied by the crude Death Rate
for the year, modifies the latter so as to make it comparable with
the Country as a whole or any other similarly adjusted area. The
adjusted Death Rate is in effect a "corrected" Death Rate.
The Death Rates for the County of London and for England
and Wales are 11.4 and 11.7 respectively.
The following table showing causes of death at all ages has
been supplied by the Registrar-General, and is included in accordance
with the request contained in the Ministry of Health's Circular
No. 1,492.
