After making the usual corrections, as indicated at the
bottom of Table 5, the total number of deaths properly belonging
to the district is found to be 497 and the death rate 11.5. The
death rate for England and Wales for the same period is given as
16.3.
The deaths which occurred outside the district among persons
belonging thereto, which have come to my knowledge, were 40 at
Kingston Infirmary, and 6 in Brookwood Asylum. The deaths
which occurred within the district among persons not belonging
thereto were one in Atkinson Morley's Hospital, one at the Cottage
Hospital, North Wimbledon, and two at the Cottage Hospital,
South Wimbledon.
Infant mortality is represented by a ratio of 117.13 deaths
under one year of age to 1,000 registered births, as against 133
deaths per 1,000 births in England and Wales for the same
period. Between the ages of 1 and 60 there were 192 deaths, and
129 deaths of persons aged 60 years and upwards.
The death rate from all Zymotic diseases was 1.02 per thousand
of the population per annum.
The number of deaths from Zymotic diseases was a. viz. :
from measles 11, diphtheria 7, diarrhoea 6, whooping cough 17,
enteric fever 3.
There were 36 deaths from bronchitis, 46 from pneumonia,
and 22 from phthisis, registered in the district. (See Table 7, in
which is classified the whole of the deaths, as to their causes and
ages, and in column 2 will be seen the chief causes of mortality
among infants under one year of age). Comparing the deaths from
respiratory diseases with those that occurred last year, a slight
decrease is noted. The deaths from pneumonia number 46,
against 44 last year; and from bronchitis 36, as against 41 last
year.
Table A shows, for the last and four preceding years, the
births, deaths, death rates, and the deaths at certain ages, and from
specified causes.
