364 Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The diagram which follows shows graphically the proportion
which the more prevalent diseases bear to the total deaths.
The whole area of the circle represents the deaths from all
causes, and the various segments the deaths from particular diseases
or groups of diseases.
It will be observed that the deaths from Tuberculosis, Cancer,
Diseases of the Circulatory system, and Diseases of the Respiratory
Organs contribute very largely to the total mortality, and also
that the notifiable diseases, other than Pulmonary Tuberculosis,
contribute very little.
