Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
If a comparison is to be made with other places it is necessary
to again correct the corrected rate, viz. :—11.15, for age and
sex distribution.
This is done by multiplying the rate by a factor obtained by
dividing the standard death-rate in England and Wales, at the
Census of 1901, with the standard death-rate for the Borough at
the same period. This factor has been ascertained to be 1.0547,
which gives a rate for this Borough for the year 1906 of 11.76 per
1,000, compared with 12.24 in 1905, 13.60 in 1904, 12.87 in 1903,
and 14.oo in 1902.
The following Table shows the standard death-rate, the
factor for correction, the crude death-rate, the corrected deathrate,
and the comparative mortality figure for London and for the
29 Boroughs, including the City of London, for the year 1906.
The figures are extracted from the Quarterly Returns of the
Registrar General for the year.
