Age Periods of Corrected Deaths.
The 4080 corrected deaths during 1910 may be further
analysed, and tabulated as follows:—
691, i.e., 16.9 per cent. of the total corrected deaths
took place under 1 year of age.
392, i.e., 9.6 per cent. between 1 and 5 years.
1083, i.e., 26.5 per cent. under 5 years.
212, i.e., 5.2 per cent. between 5 and 20 years.
451, i.e., 11.1 per cent. 20 to 40 years.
848, i.e., 20.8 per cent. 40 to 60 years.
1201, i.e., 29.4 per cent. 60 to 80 years.
285, i.e., 6.9 per cent. 80 years and over.
2997, i.e., 73.4 per cent. over 5 years.
I hese results may be compared with those for London
given in the Table on p. 25, which shows the estimated
mortalities per 1000 persons at each age.period for London
during 1910, and the London averages for the 10 years
1881.90.
