The 5,430 corrected deaths may be further analysed, and
tabulated according to age.periods, as follows:—
1328 i.e. 24.5 per cent, of the total deaths took place
under 1 year of age.
556 i.e. 10.2 „ „ „ between 1 and 5 years.
1884 i.e. 34.7 „ „ „ under 5 years.
252 i.e. 4.6 „ „ between 5 and 20 years.
657 i.e. 121 „ „ „ 20 and 40 years.
1067 i.e. 19.7 „ „ „ 40 and 60 years.
1244 i.e. 22 9 „ ,, „ 60 and 80 years.
326 i.e. 6.0 „ „ „ 80 years and over.
3546 i.e. 65.3 „ ,, ,, over 5 years.
These results must be compared with those for London
given in Table E, which shows the estimated mortalities
per 1000 persons at each age.period for London during
1900, and the London averages for the 10 years 1881.90.
Tables F, G, H and I shew the uncorrected returns (male
and female) arranged as to Registration Sub.Districts, ageperiods,
and quarters respectively, for comparison with
similar tables in former Lambeth reports.
The place that Lambeth takes amongst the Metropolitan
Sanitary Districts is worthy of note, there being 16 other
Districts (out of 43) with a less death.rate, 10 with a less
Zymotic death.rate, and 12 with a less infantile morality
i.e., deaths of infants under 1 year of age per 1000 births.
Taking the 15 South Districts, the Lambeth statistics shew
up even better, especially on comparing neighbouring Districts—
Camberwell, Battersea and Wandsworth alone
having slightly lower death.rates.
London as a whole, has a birth.rate of 28.6, corrected
death.rate of 18.3, and Zymotic (death) rate of 219, per
1,000 population, and an infantile mortality rate of 158,
per 1000 births.
