Pulmonary Tuberculosis is not a prominent cause of death, its
fatality is greatest during the most productive and active periods of
life, and herein lies much of its social and economic importance.
The total deaths from Pulmonary Tuberculosis remain very
steady, but as the population is steadily increasing the death-rate
is consequently slowly decreasing.
In 1931 the death-rate from all forms of Tuberculosis was
0.746 per 1,000 population
,, ,, Pulmonary Tuberculosis 0.66 ,,
,, ,, Non-pulmonary Tuberculosis 0-081 ,,
The difference between death rates in 1931 and 1930 is partly
accounted for by the fact that this year the rate is estimated from
the actual population whereas last year it was obtained from an
estimated population.
Non-Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
