the annual number of Leyton residents who died from coronary
diseases has been shown separately, and these are the Leyton
figures :—
Year Male Female Total
1950 74 40 114
1951 83 47 130
1952 125 44 169
1953 111 48 159
It will be seen that, in the short space of four years since
separate figures became available, the number of Leyton residents
whose deaths have been certified as due to coronary disease has
increased from 114 to 159 (i.e., by 39.47 per cent.).
