Sub-district of Putney and Rooehampton.
General Mortality Table III. all deaths registered in the subdistrict
have again been tabulated in the usual
way according to sex, age and social position.
Ages at Death. The proportion of deaths at the various ages
was as follows:-
Under 1 year 26.8 per cent.
From 1 to 5 yeaas 12.3 „ „
From 5 to 65 years 39.9 „ „
From 65 upwards 21 „ „
Infantile Mortality The Infantile Mortality is again low in comparison
with former years. For every 1,000
births, 128 infants died under the age of twelve months.
The infantile mortality in London during 1898 was 167
per 1000 births, and was the highest recorded since 1671.
This improvement in the infantile mortality is satisfactory
to record, inasmuch as it indicates increased care both in
the nursing and feeding of infants.
Social Position The proportion of deaths classified according
to social position was as follows:—
Nobility and Gentry 3.7 per cent.
Professional Classes 6.7 „ „
Middle and Trading Classes 32.13 „ „
