Of the 30 deaths of residents that occurred and were registered
in other districts, 19 were males and 11 females; 8 were stated
to have lived in Heston and 22 in Isleworth.
The majority of these persons were over middle age. Eight
of them died in lunatic asylums, 15 in general hospitals or
infirmaries and 4 in other institutions. The causes of death in
most of the cases were chronic diseases.
It must be specially noted that these 30 deaths of residents
are not included in the details given in Table IV. dealing with
the causes of and ages at death. On reference to that table it
will be seen that it takes into account only those deaths of
residents that actually occurred in the district. Table IV. is drawn
up according to Local Government regulations except for the
exclusion of these 30 deaths, and may possibly be of interest to
anyone who has sufficient energy to study it. It gives the causes
of deaths of residents and divides the deaths into six different
age-periods. The infant deaths and the causes of death at all
ages are separately dealt with further on in this report, but with
regard to the age-periods it may be noted here that several
interesting facts are brought out.
130 deaths of infants under 12 months of age and 45 deaths
of young children aged between 1 and 5 years were registered.
These 175 deaths of babies and very young children constitute
nearly one-third (33.1 per cent.) of all the registered deaths of
residents. 163 deaths of persons aged 65 or more were registered,
a number equal to 30.8 per cent, of registered deaths of residents
at all ages. In the 20 years covered by the two age-periods of
5 to 15 and 15 to 25, only 36 deaths were registered; that is
only 6.8 per cent, of all the residents whose deaths were registered
died between the ages of 5 and 25.
All deaths of persons over 65 are grouped in the last ageperiod,
but as in previous Reports another group may be made of
the deaths of persons aged 75 or more, as a considerable number
of such deaths occurs every year in this district.
