LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR,BUREAU OF Tm CENSUS)

Wmiihgton, D. C.j 6’eptember.21, 1909.Sm:

I have the honor to transmit Census Bulletin 104, on Mortality Statistics, 1908. It presents some of themost important data relating to general death rates, causes of death, and occupational mortality for the regis-tration area during the year 1908 in advance of the more detailed presentation which will appear in the annualreport. The report itself, Mortality Statistics, 1908, will appear at an earlier date than formerly, and the publi-cation of this early bulletin is possible on account of the promptness with which state and city registrationofficials are now making returns of deaths to this Bureau. It contains also the official English translation ofthe Second Revision of the International Classification of Causes of Death, Paris, 1909, wlich will be in forcefor the mortality statistics compiled by this Bureau and by the registration states and cities of the UnitedStates, begtig January 1,1910.

The bulletin was prepared by Dr. Cressy L. WiIbur, chief statistician for vital statistics of this Bureau.Very respectfully,

MORTALITY STATISTICS:I908.

INTRODUCTION. .

This is the first bulletin prepared upon the an-nual returns of deaths from the registration areaof the United States. Its publication will precedethat of the annual report (Mortality Statistics: 1908)by some time,. and will enable the most importantresults of the registration of deaths for the year1908 to be utilized without waiting for the fulleranalysis and comparison of data in the rea@ar report.The timely issue of such a bulletin was not possibleuntil the transcripts of death certificates were re-turned monfkdy instead of yearly from the regis-tration states and from the larger registration citiesin the nonregistration area. The substitution ofmonthly for yearly returns permitted much of thepreliminary work of compilation to be done duringthe calendar year covered by the statistics, andthus the compilation for the year has been com-pleted more promptly than in the past. This wasbrought about by the cordial cooperation of stateand city registrars with the Bureau of the Census.In some instances state laws were amended for thispurpose. Doubtless the few states not now affordingmonthly returns will soon appreciate the advantagesof this requirement.

SOURCES OF DATA.

The registration area of the United States, whichembraces those states and separate cities acceptedas having approximately complete registration ofdeaths based upon the requirement of compulsoryburial permits, consists, for the year 1908, of thefollowing states:

California. Mamachueetts. Rhode Island.Colorado. Michigan. South Dakota.Connecticut. New Hampehire. Vermont.Indiana. New Jersey. Washington.Maine. New York. Wieconein.Maryland. Pennsylvania.

Of these, Washington and Wisconsin were addedfor 1908 and now for the first time appear in the listof registration states. The District of Columbia(city of Washington) and 74 cities in nonregistra-tion states, together with the registration states,make up the aggregate registration area, whosetotal estimated population for the year 1908 was45,028,767, or over one-half ($1.8 per cent) of the

total estimated “population of continental &itedStates (86,874,990). The total number of deathsreturned for the year was 691,574. It thus appearsthat the United States, although not possessing thegeneral national system of ,registration of vital sta-tistics found in other countries, is nevertheless inreceipt of a vast mass of registration returns, whoseannual compilation is of great service to sanitarians.Unfortunately there are as yet no Southern regis-tration states, and thus only a small proportion ofthe colored population of the country is representedin the returns received.

EXTENSION OF THE REGISTRATION AREA.

The growth of the registration area from the timethat the first transcripts of deaths from actual reg-istration records were received in 1880 to the present .time is shown in the following table:

The addition of Ohio for the year 1909 has still fur-ther increased the percentage of the population report-ing to 55.2, and some other areas may be included forthe calendar year 1910, for which year direct ‘com-parisons can be made of the mortality statistics withthe population enumerated by the Thirteenth Census.It is very desirable that those states which requireburial permits, but which have not yet been admittedas registration states, shodd enforce more thoroughlythe existing laws, and that cities in nonregistrationstates should adopt or enforce this requirement ofburial permits, so that as large an addition as possiblecan be made to the registration area for the year 1910.An important part of the work of the Bureau of theCensus is to secure for this purpose the adoption ofbetter laws and the more effective enforcement ofexisting laws.

The text of this bulletin is divided into three parts:(1) General discussion of the gross returns; (2) causesof death; and (3) relation of occupations to deaths.Besides the text tables, reference may be made to thegeneral tables, the fist three of which give detaileddata concerning the total number of deaths, deathrates, color, month of death, age, and importantcauses, for each of the. main subdivisions of the regis-tration area, the registration states, and all registra-tion cities; the fourth of which compares for the pastfive years the deaths and death rates for each of thecauses of death given in the present form of the Inter-national Classification; and the remaining tables aredevoted to the relations of causes of death and occupa-tions as reported for the year.

DEATHS AND DEATH RATES FOR THE Y13AR 1908.

The total number of deaths returned for the year1908 from the entire registration area was 691,574, andthe death rate was 15.4 per 1,000 of estimated popu-lation. For the preceding year the number of deathswas 687,034, or only 4,540 less than the numberreturned for 1908, although the registration area forthe latter year was increased by the addition of thetwo new registration states, Washington and Wiscon-sin. The year 1908 was a year of remarkably lowmortality throughout the United States, so far as can bedetermined from the available registration records, andwas marked by a general absence of severe epidemicsand of unusual mortalit y from other causes. In Table 1death rates are presented for all the registration statesand cities for which estimates of population are avail-able, and the low rates shown for practically all partsof the country are very noticeable. In a few excep-tions, where the rates are somewhat higher, deaths ofnonresidents or deaths in institutions may affect thelocal rates.

DEATHS BY SEX AND AGE.

The distribution of the deaths returned for 1907 and1908 Jnay be examined with respect to sex and age inthe following table.

Females contributed a slightly larger proportion ofthe deaths in 1908. than they did in 1907, and theactual number of deaths of males registered for 1908was less than for 1907. The figures for age show asomewhat increased per cent of deaths of infantsunder 1 year for 1908, but the ratios for each of theindividual years from 1 to 4 are identical for 1907and 1908. A close agreement appears in the subse-quent quinquennial periods, although the distributionis slightly more favorable for 1908 for the ages 15 to49 years.

Nearly one-fifth of all of the deaths that occurredwere those of infants under 1 year of age, and over one-fourth are of children less than 5 years of age. Thebrute force of the figures representing the actual deathsis more impressive, however, than any ratios or thanthe rates of infant mortality, even if the latter could becomputed in the absence of proper registration ofbirths: There were more than one-eighth of a million(136,432) deaths of babies under 1 year of age in aboutone-half of the total population of the United States in1908, and nearly 200,000 (@ly 200,000 with allowancefor defective returns) deaths of little children under 5years of age in the same aggregate of population. It isa matter of conjecture, in the absence of reliable regis-tration of death for the remaining half of the country,whether these figures, if doubled, would represent theapproximate number of deaths at these ages in theen~ire United States.

The general death rate of a country is largely de-pendent upon its infant mortality, because the deathrates of infants and young children are high and theyaffect a relatively numerous element of the population.Exact study of the incidence of disease upon infancyand childhood is most important, and it is imperativelynecessa~ that there should be more effective registra-tion of births throughout the United States for thispurpose. The extremely important rate known as “in-fant mortality” is the ratio of deaths of infants under1 year of age, not to population, but to the number ofchildren born alive during the year. This most impor-tant ratio should be readily available for the compara-tive study of deaths of infants in all of our states and

cities, but in the great maj ority of them, unfortunately,the registration of births is worthless, and ratios cal-culated upon the returns would be deceptive and un-reliable.

The possibility of great saving of human life duringinfancy and early childhood is emphasized by the esti-mates made by 3?rof. Irving Fisher, on the basis of inde-pendent medical opinions, for his Report on NationalVitality to the National Conservation Commission)las to the “ratio of preventability (postponability),i. e., ratio of ‘preventable’ deaths from cause namedto all deaths from cause named” for certain diseasesof early life. out of every 100 deaths that occur fromeach disease in which the median age at death is under5 years, there could be prevented the following num-bers: Premature birth, 40; congenital debility, 40;venereal diseases, 70; diarrhea and enteritis, the mostimportant cause of infant mortality, 60; measles, 40;acute bronchitis, 30; bronchopneumonia, 50; whoop-~g cough,4(3;“croup” (which means diphtheria), 75;meningitis, 70; diseases of larynx other than laryn-gitis, 40; laryngitis, 40; diphtheria (under its properappellation), 70; scarlet fever, 50. Other diseasesespecially fatal to infants and children would perhapsshow equally great ratios of preventability; they donot appear in the above list because their median agesare above the limit chosen or because, as is the casewith “ consmlsions/’ they are grouped with other andincongruous causes. The possible saving of life for“general, ill-defied and unknown causes (including‘heart failurej (dropsy,’ and ‘convulsions ‘)/’ medianage 35 years, is 30 per cent. The median age of ‘t con-vulsions” alone is less than one year, and it is probablethat at least the ratio of preventability of diarrhea andenteritis (60 per cent) would apply to it. The term isan indefnite one, being expressive merely of thesymptoms attending the true cause of death, never-theless no fewer than 6,450 deaths were compiledtherefrom for 1908, although, in compilation, anyother definite cause is preferred. The term is no longeremployed by well-informed physicians in reportingcauses of death, and it is possible, by inquiry made bythe local registrar immediately after the receipt of thisand other unsatisfactory statements, to practically

eliminate them from the returns, as has lately beendone for Chicago.

In the light of the figures quotedabobe it would seemthat practical sanitation has only made a beginning inthe work of preventing the occurrence of infant andchild mortality. The ground has only been scratchedover. Deep stirring of the soil and thorough cultiva-tion of all of the means available, with our presentscientfic and medical knowledge, for the guarding ofyoung human lives would produce startling, and fromall past human experience almost unbelievable, results.Public health, as a function of government, is itselfonly a creation of the middle part of the last century,dating from the utilization of the knowledge availableas a result of the operation of the E.nglish,laws for theregistration of vital statistics (1837). “ Even inEngland, however , no systematic efforts have beenmade until very recent years to utilize to their utmostpossibilities the facts already known.” The infant mor-tality of England was higher for the years 1896 to 1900than for the years 1861 to 1865, and no marked reduc-tion in the early rates occurs until the present decade.It is time that greater attention be given to the subjectin the United States. For the accomplishment ofeffective work in this direction, the prompt registrationof all births and the more careful and precise statementof causes of death by physicians are essential, Suchterms as “convulsions,” ‘cmarasmus,” t‘ debility,”and the like should no longer be tolerated when the truecause of death can. be determined. ~fessor Fisherconcludes that of all the diseases of infancy (havingmedian age 1), 47 per cent may be prevented, and ofthe diseases of childhood (having median age 2 to 8),67 per cent maybe prevented, on the basis of our pres-ent knowledge of sanitary measures. This wouldmean, applied to the 200,000 deaths of infants andchildren in the registration area, or the possible400,000 deaths of these classes in the United States,a saving of at least 100,000 or 200,000 lives each year,respectively. It does not seem unreasonable, whenwe consider the fact that there is apparently no reasonwhy infants, if propwly born (and this means simplythe prevention of antenatal disease and the improve-ment of the health and conditions of living of theirparents), should die at all in early infancy or childhoodexcept from the comparatively small proportion ofaccidents that are strictly unavoidable.

For each year 93.3 per cent of all deaths were thoseof white persons, a fact which shows the unequal divi-sion of the registration area in this respect. Mary-land is the only registration state with a considerableproportion (23.6 per cent) of colored population.Nearly one-fourth of all deaths registered are those of

‘ persons born outside of the United States. The stateshaving the largest proportions of native-born Ameri-.cans are the ones in which it is the most difficult tosecure the passage of effective registration laws. Thetrue American mortality is thus not fully representedin the registration area, although over two-thirds ofthe deaths registered are those of native-born personsand one-third are of native-born with native parents.A detailed statement of the number of decedents ofeach color may be found, for the main subdivisions ofthe registration area, the registration states, and all-registration cities of 8,000 population and over in 1900,

in Table 1.

DEATHS BY MONTH OF OCCURRENCE.

Table 1 also presents for the principal subdivisionsof the registration area, registration states, and regis-tration cities a statement of the number of deathsfrom all causes registered for each month of the year1908. This table shows the deaths as for the monthsin which they actually occurred, not the months inwhich they may have been registered. It has beenthe practice of some registration offices in presentkgtables of deaths by months to give the deaths regis-tered during the month, as distinguished from thedeaths actually occurring during the month, some ofwhich are not registered until the first few days of themonth following. Such monthly compilations ofreported deaths would not agree with the compilationmade by the Bureau of the Census from the individual

transcripts, nor would the state or city reports agreewhen the monthly totals of reported deaths are con-solidated to form the annual report. As a rule, thediscrepancies from this cause are trifling in numericalamount, but they prevent the precise agreement whichshould be expected in statistical compilations basedupon the same original data. Under the Ru.Ies ofStatistical Practice adopted by the registration officiaIsof the United States (see Mortality Statistics, 1907,page 49o),the actual deaths are to be accepted as thebasis of statement, and special regulations are now inforce relative to transcripts made for the Bureau of’the Census so that exact agreement shall be secured in.this respect.

A general idea of the monthly and seasonal occur-rence of deaths can be obtained from the gross figures,although, for exact comparisons, the varying lengths.of the calendar months must be taken into considera-tion. The difference is marked between the numberof deaths registered for the month of maximum mor-tality (January, 67,763) and that of minimum mor-talit y (June, 49,7oI), but detailed comparisons, in-volving climatic considerations, are preferably madefor individual states and cities.

DEATH RATES FOR REGISTRATION STATES.

The first measure of comparative mortality is thegeneral death rate or the ratio of the deaths thatoccurred to the population affording them. A com-parison of general death rates makes no allowance fordifferences in the sex and age constitution of the inhab- ~itants of the state and country, and it must be remem-bered that a community which has an excessive pro-portion of infants or of old persons will have normallyhigher death rates than one in which the usual propor-.tion exists; also that states and cities which have beenrapidly growing by the influx of young adults, in thehealthiest periods of life, will show crude death ratesmuch below the average. Through ignorance orneglect of this fact, many absurd claims, such as beingthe “healthiest city” or the “healthiest state,” havebeen made, based on the very low death rates some-times presented. Gross death rates of soldiers haveeven been compared with the rates of ordinary popu-lations, and invidious comparisons, that a little moreknowledge of the proper use of such rates would pre-vent, are frequent. On the other hand, undue sus-picion has sometimes attached to very low rates whichare quite justifiable when the age and sex constitutionof the community is considered. At their best, how-ever, the death rates computed for a year so remotefrom the last census of population (1900), and there-fore dependent upon estimates of the number of inhab-itants in each state and city, must be used with discre-tion, and it is far safer to employ them for the im-portant purpose of detecting the variations in the

mortality of individual states and cities during a seriesof years than for the exact comparison of the mortalityof different states and cities.

The death rate of the registration states (15.3),which is slightiy lower than that for the entire reg-istration area (15.4), is the lowest on record, andis probably the lowest death rate that has ever oc-curred in the United States. The death rate of therural portions of these states was even lower (14),that of the urban population (16.5), which termincludes all cities having 8,000 or more inhabitantsin 1900. The civilized world has indeed arrived at anera of low mortality. Such rates would have seemedquite out of the question a few years ago. That ofEngland and Wales for 1908 was only 14.7 per 1,000of population and of London for the same year only13.8. For each year since 1903 the death rate ofEngland and Wales has been less than 16 per 1,000,with the exception of 1904 (16.2), while no ratesas low have been recorded for any previous years ofregistration.

The death rates ,of the individual re=&istrationstates vary for the year 1908 from 18.4 for Cali-fornia to 10.1 for South Dakota. But California,and also Colorado (17), suffer unduly in comparisonwith the other states from the fact that many in-

valids from other parts of the country resort tothem for cure, so that a considerable proportionof the mortality assigned to them on the basis ofdeaths actuapy occurring is due to the mortality ofrecent residents. At the present time, and until ageneral plan can be adopted for the proper &stri-bution of deaths of recent residents, the figures

must be understood to be somewhat less favorablethan the incidence of mortality of the resident popu-lation. Even as it is, however, the rates are not highones, and the total variation from South Dakota (10.1)~to California (18.4) is less than that among the greattowns of England, for example, for 1908: Hornsey(8.3), Oklham “(19.8). The range of mortality isnot excessive, and there are no rates so low as to beper se unworthy of credence. It is probably true,however, that the. registration of deaths in SouthDakota is not as complete as that in Massachusetts,and the increase in the death rate of South Dakotafrom 8.8 for 1906 to 10.1 for 1908 does not neces-sarily imply an actually higher mortality, but merelymore thorough enforcement of the law.

With the exception of South Dakota, all the reg-istration states for which data are presented formore than a single year showed lower rates for 1908than for 1907, and in several instances the ratesfor 1908 were the lowest on record, at least sincefairly accurate registration has been in effect. ForMassachusetts a comparison of the rates given inthe state reports since 1851 shows that, with thesingle exception of the rate in 1904 (16.3), the rate

I in 1908 (165) is the lowest. -

The cities in the preceding table are arranged inorder of states, so that comparisons can be made con-

veniently of those located in the same parts of thecountry. Of the 35 cities for which rates are pre-sented for 1908 and for preceding years, a decreaseddeath rate is shown for 1908 in all but five instances.The rate for Denver, Colo., which, like that for Colo-rado as a whole, is affected by the deaths of nonresi-dents, increased from 23.5 for 1907 to 23.6 for 1908—an insignificant difference; the rates for SyracuseYN. Y., and for Scranton, Pa., each rose from 15.9 to16.5; while the rate for Paterson, N. J., rose from16.1 to 16.2. Cincinnati, Ohio, showed the same ratefor each year, namely, 18.5. The five boroughs ofNew York also showed decreased death rates for theyear; that for the Borough of the Bronx is higherthan those fpr the other boroughs on account of theinclusion of deaths in hospitals of patients from Man-hattan.’

CAUSES OF DEATH.

The number of deaths and the corresponding deathrates per 100,000 of estimated population from certainimportant causes are given for the main subdivisionsof the registration area, the registration states, andindividual registration cities of 8,000 population andover (census of 1900) for the year 1908 in Table 3. Thistable is in form similar to general Table 3 and also tothe regular summary table (Table IV) of the lMortalityStatistics, 1907, containing the death rates of theseareas for each of the years 1903 to 1907, so that com-parisons can readily be made with previous years.

For the registration area as a whole, the deaths anddeath rates may be examined for each of the past fiveyears (1904 to 1908) in Table 4, which also containsthe average annual number of deaths and the corre-sponding death rate per 100,000 of mean estimatedpoptilation for the quinquennial period 1901 to 1905.This table is identical with Table III of the annualreport.

The fist point usually considered in connectionwith the mortality of the latest year of registration iswhether the deaths and death rates from certainimportant causes were greater or less than for theyear preceding. Such comparisons can be made inTable 5, which presents the figures for 1907 and 1908 forthe registration area and its main subdivisions, theregistration states, and the large cities of 100,000 ofpopulation and over in 1900 for the following impor-tant causes of death: Typhoid fever, measles, scarletfever, whooping cough, diphtheria and croup, tuber-culosis (all forms), cancer, heart disease, pneumonia(all forms), diarrhea and enteritis, Bright’s disease,suicide, and other violence. Rates in excess of cer-tain fairly high limits, which vary for the differentdiseases, are printed in bold-face type, so that thelocalities having excessive mortality from a given causecan be seen at a glance. As the table is arranged simi-larly to those of the last annual report relating to eachindividual disease, comparisons can readily be made

for preceding years. It should be remembered thatM1’erences in age and sex constitution, color, nativity,and other peculiarities of the population, may greatlyaffect the relative mortality of states and cities, andthat the crude rates are therefore much better em-ployed for the purpose of ascertaining the variationsin the same area than for comparing clifferent areas.The rates from tuberculosis in certain states and citieswe high chiefly on account of the mortality of non-resident health seekers.

For the rarer causes of death, some of which, how-ever, are of very great sanitary interest, referencemay be made to Table 4. Smallpox caused 92 deathsin the registration area during 1908, cm.respondingLo a rate of two-tenths per 100,000 of population. .The deaths returned from this cause numbered 74 for1907 and 95 for 1906. The disease is now much less.prevalent than for the five-year period 1901 to 1905which, for a considerably smaller registration area,~howed an average of 1,119 deaths from smallpox per ‘annum. Plague caused 5 deaths in the registrationarea in 1908 as compared with 89 for the precedingyear. Two deaths were also reported from yellow[ever, 1 more than the number returned for 1907.IFrom leprosy 11 deaths occurred in 1908 and 7 in19o7. Rabies, commonly known as hydrophobia,caused 82 deaths in 1908.

A disease of increasing importance, according to the.returns, is pel.lagra. Only 23 deaths from this disease.were reported for 1908. No deaths from this causewere given for any of the preceding years shown inthe table, except 1 for 1904. Undoubtedly manydeaths from this disease have occurred during previousyears, but the cause has escaped recognition. Thenumber of deaths compiled, moreover, does not at all.represent the actual mortality from pellagra in the.United States, because nearly all of them occur in thenonregistration states of the South from which no-records are received.

CAUSES OF DEATH. 13

TYPHOID FEVER.

The total number of deaths registered from typhoidfever for the entire registration area was 11,375 for1908 as against 12,670 for 1907. The death ratedecreased from 30.3 to 25.3 per 100,000 of estimatedpopulation. The latter rate is the lowest yet recordedin any of the annual reports and marks a phenome-nally favorable condition with respect to infectionby the typhoid germ. The decrease was generalthroughout the registration area, but was greater” inthe registration cities, for which the rate declinedfrom 32.9 per 100,000 of population in 1907 to 25.8for 1908, than in the rural parts of rebgietration states,for which the decrease was onIy from 26 to 24.3. ofthe 15 registration states for which rates are availablefor the two years, 8 showed decreased death ratesfrom this disease, namely, California, Colorado, Con-necticut, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,and Pennsylvania, and 7 showed increased mortalityfor the latter year, usually of small amounts: Maine,Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, RhodeIsland, South Dakota, and Vermont. For 1908 nostate showed a rate equal to or above the limit of 50deaths per 100,000 of population and onIy 2 of thelarge cities—Denver, Colo. (54.8), and Columbus, Ohio(110.5) Qexceeded this amount, while for 1907, 2states, Colorado and Pennsylvania, and 7 of the largecities—Denver, Colo.; Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans,La.; Allegheny, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Scran-ton, Pa.—exceeded this limit.

The redubtion of the amount of typhoid fever inAllegheny and Pittsburg, Pa., is especially notable.For 1907 the death rate from’ typhoid fever per 100,000of. population was 96.9 for Allegheny and 130.8 forPittsburg, and these rates were not exceptionally highfor those cities, in which the use of polluted waterhad been the recognized source of a large number ofdeaths from this disease year after year. For 1908the death rate of the present city of Pittsburg, whichincludes the former city of Allegheny, annexed onDecember 9, 1907, was only 46.6 per 100,000 of popu-lation. Part of this may be due to the ~usuallyfavorable character of the year, but a large part isundoubtedly due to the use of the filtering plantrecently completed.

Cincinnati, Ohio, for a similar reason, also shows amarked decrease in the typhoid fever death rate from46.4 in 1907 to 18.6 for 1908. That all of the mortalityfrom typhoid fever is not due to the water supply andthat a considerable portion of it may be due to othersources, such as contamination of food by flies andthe like, is suggested by the fact that the death ratefrom, typhoid fever in Washington, D. C., shows aslight increase for the year as compared with thatpreceding, namely, from 35.5 to 39.4. The lowestdeath rates of the large cities presented in Table 5 are

those of Worcester, Mass. (10.5); Jersey City,N.J. (9.7); “Paterson, N. J. (9.5); Richmond borough, New York(9.2). All the other large cities have death ratesfrom this disease exceeding 10 per 100,000 of popula-tion, and the average death rate of registration citiesin this country from typhoid fever is o?er 25 per100,000 of population for even such a favorable yearas 1908. The possibilities of reduction of even thesefavorable rates are suggested by comparison withdeath rates from enteric (typhoid) fever taken fromthe statistics of Scottish, Irish, Colonial, and Foreigncities, in the Annual Summary for 1908, published bythe Registrar-General of England and Wales: London,5; Edinburgh, 2; Glasgow, 8; Paris, 8; Rotterdam, 5;The Hague, 1; Copenhagen, 7; Stockholm, 1; Berlin,4; Hamburg, 4; Dresden, 6; Breslau, 5; Munich, 3;Vienna, 4. Other cities have higher rates, but thereare no cities given k the Registrar-General’s Iist withrates as high as the average of American registrationcities in a most f avorable year (25.8), except St. Peters-burg (126), Moscow (56), Milan (38), Montreal (33),and Toronto (28).

MEASLES.

Measles caused 4,611 deaths in 1908 as comparedwith 4,302 in 1907. As the registration area wasincreased by the addition of Washington and Wiscon-sin for 1908, the increase of 309 deaths represents aslightly decreased death rate, namely, from 10.3 to10.2 per 100,000 of estimated population. These fig-ures for measles thus serve to call attention to thefact that, because of changes @ the registration area,minute comparisons can not be made directly betweenthe number of deaths returned for the two years, butthat comparisons are preferably made by “means ofthe death rates, which take coaguizance of the increasedpopulation represented by the returns.

The only state showing unusually high mortalityfrom this disease was South Dakota, for which thedeath rate was 21.1 per 100,000 of population. Thehighest mortality among the large cities was that ofFall River, Mass. (45.2), closely followed by Pittsburg,Pa. (45.1). The death rate of the Borough of theBronx (61.4) is not properly chargeable to the boroughon account of deaths in hospitals of patients broughtfrom other parts of the city.

As compared with previous years the mortality for1908 from measles was not excessive, although slightlyabove the average for the quinquennial period 1901 to1905 (9. 1). International statistics show a muchhigher death rate from this disease in London (31),Edinburgh (23), Glasgow (96), Dublin (42), Belfast(48), Paris (18), Brussels (26), Amsterdam (32), St,Petersburg (102), Moscow (44), Trieste (44), Berlin(14), Vienna (46), and Rome (100). While the totaldeath rate is less than half that of typhoid fever, themortality of the latter is distributed over a longer .

period of life, the average age at death being about30 years, while the average age at death of personssuccumbing to measles is less than 4 years and themedian ageis less than 2 years. Specific death ratescomputed on the class most largely affected, mainlyyoung children under 5 years of age, would showmuch higher rates of mortality.

SCARLET FEVER.

For 1907 the death rates from measles and scarletfever were identical for the registration area (10.3),but while the death rate of measles (10.2) was slightlylower for 1908, that of scarlet fever (12.4) was slightlyhigher. Colorado showed rates exceeding 20 deathsper 100,000 for each of the two years, although thedeath rate decreased from 36.5 for 1907 to 28.2 for1908. New York was the only other state showinga rate (20.5) slightly above the limit chosen. Thehighest death rate among the large cities from scarletfever was that of Scranton, Pa. (71), followed by Jer-sey City, N. J. (42.3), although the Borough of theBronx, with its hospitals, had apparently a higherrate (43 .3). The mortality from scarlet fever wasmarkedly high in the large cities of Massachusetts,New Jersey, and New York, with the exception ofRochester and Syracuse in the last-named state.

In the tables of international statistics presentedby the Registrar-General, foreign cities with highrates for the year are Montreal (21), Toronto (2o),Rotterdam (38), St. Petersburg (41), Moscow (38),Prague (31), Budapest (32), and Trieste (3o).

WHOOPING COUGH.

Whooping cough caused 4)969 deaths in 1908 and4,856 in 1907 in the registration area, but the deathrate declined from 11.6 to 11 on account of the addi-tions to that area. The mortality was quite uniformlydistributed throughout the main subdivisions, althoughgreater variation is shown among the registration statesand cities. Colorado had the highest death rate fromwhooping cough of any of the registration states (22.3).That state also had the highest mortality from scarletfever and typhoid fever, and a high mortality frommeasles and diphtheria and croup. Among the largeregistration cities only 3, Denver, Colo. (21.3), FallRiver, Mass. (22.6), and Memphis, Term. (21.1), ex-ceeded the limit of prevalence with which the chil-dren’s diseases are compared (2o).

Whooping cough is of much greater importance as acause of death in the cities of northern Europe than inthis country. The death rate of London for 1908 (20)is lower than that of any preceding year or quinquen-nial period given in the Registrar-General’s AnnualSummary, and the rates of the following cities exceedthe limit used in Table 5: Edinburgh (33), Glasgow(62), Dublin (24), Belfast (35), Montreal (28), &nster-

dam (21), Copenhagen (37), St. Petersburg (27), andHamburg (24).

DIPHTHERIA AND CROUP.

The total number of deaths from diphtheria andcroup returned for the registration area, as occurringduring the year 1908, was 10,052, or 102 less than thenumber returned for the preceding year. As thepopulation of the registration area for 1908 was some-what greater than that for 1907, owing to the additionsto the registration area, the death rate decreased from24.3 for 1907 to 22.3 for 1908. The death rate for thelatter year was the lowest rate recorded since thebeginning of the annual reports on mortality. As ithas been suggested that diphtheria might be taken as ameasure of sanitary efficiency, owing to the fact thatdeaths from this disease are largely preventable, thisdecrease may be considered a very satisfactory indica-tion of the general sanitary condition of the country.In this connection it may be stated that the term“diphtheria and croup” does not refer to two separateand distinct diseases, but simply to the one diseaseproperly designated diphtheria. The use of the word“croup” is a relic of old-time pathology; it is chieflyemployed by the less progressive class of physicians,and by the laity who do not understand its identitywith diphtheria.

The decrease in the death rate from diphtheria wasgeneral in all the main subdivisions of the registra-tion area, as shown in Table 5, and in all the registra-tion states except California, Colorado,, New Hamp-shire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Vermont.The amounts of increase in these states were slight,except in Colorado, whose death rate from this diseaseincreased from 21.5 per 100,000 of population in 1907to 28.4 in 1908; Rhode Island, from 24.8 in 1907 to29.5 in 1908; and South Dakotaj where an increasefrom 16.8 to 21.8 was shown.

During 1908 none of the large registration citiesshowed a death rate equal to or over 50 per 100,000from diphtheria and croup, which is the limit formerlyemployed in the annual reports to call attention toareas having high death rates from this disease. Inthe present bulletin the reduced limit of 40 is employed,and it is hoped that, as modern efficient health admin-istration prevails and the free supply of antitoxinbecomes more general, it will be possible to lower thelimit from time to time as diphtheria tends to become apractically extinct disease like typhus fever. As it is,only 2 of the larger cities in 1908 had rates above 40per 100,000, namely, Denver, Colo. (45.8) and Worces-ter, Mass. (44.8). The aggregate death rate of thecity of New York (39.4) was slightly below the limit.

The mortality from diphtheria and croup was verylow in the foreign cities, whose statistics for 1908 arepresented in the Annual Summary of the Registrar-General. The highest death rates are those of Toronto

(74), Montreal (34), St. Petersburg (48), Moscow (33),Christiania (28),Berlin (27),and Dresden (37).London had a rate of only 15;J?aris, 7; Sydney, 7;Melbourne, 10; Amsterdam, 7; Budapest, 13; andRome, 16. The ~owest rate given is that of Edinburgh,which was only 5 per 100,000.

.TUBERCULOSIS ‘(ALL FORMS).

The total number of deaths resulting from all formsof tuberculosis for the registration area for 1908 was78,289, of which 67,376 were from tuberculosis of thelungs, 698 from tuberculosis of the larynx, 4,218 fromtuberculous meningitis, 2,723from abdominal tuber-culosis, and the remainder from minor tuberculousaffections,’ such as Pott’s disease, tuberculous abscess,white swelling, tuberculosis of other organs, or thosereturned as general tuberculosis.. There were also 120deaths from “ scrofula,” a disease which should beproperly included with tuberculous disease.

The total number of deaths returned from all f ormsof tuberculosis for 1908 exceeded the number returnedfor 1907 or for any previous year of registration,although direct comparison can not be made on ac-count of the large increase of the registration area in1906 and the slight increase in 1908.

The death rates per 100,000 of population show aconsiderable decline for 1908 (173.9) as compared with1907 (183.6) or any of the previous years given inTable 4.

From Table 5 it appears that the death rate from, allforms of tuberculosis showed a decline in all of themain subdivisions of the registration area and also ineach of the registration states, except Colorado, RhodeIslandj and Vermont. In the two latter the amountsof increase were very small and f or Colorado, as well asfor California, it must be remembered that many deathsfrom tuberculosis are those of nonresidents who resortto the climate for the cure of tuberculous disease. The~gh rates for the cities& Colorado ~d in the South,

and also for the Borough of the Bronx, N. Y., should beinterpreted in connection with the lmowledge thatmany deaths of noruesidents or hospital patients areincluded. It is probable that the great attention thathas been given to the prevention of tuberculosis,through the International Congress on Tuberculosisheld at Washington in 1908, and the organization ofmany state and local societies, has already begun tohave its effect upon the mortality from this disease,and though an abrupt diminution in the death rate canhardly be expected, a moderate and continued declinefrom year to year will be highly suggestive of theefficiency of the measures now being actively employecl.

.CANCER.

The crude death rates from cancer continue to in-&ease and slightly higher rates are recorded for eachmain subdivision of the registration area. For the

9359—Bull.104-09-2

<

year 1908,33,465deaths from this disease were re-turned, and the death rate was 74.3 per 100,000 ofpopulation as compared with 30,514 deaths and adeath rate of 73.1 for 1907. Ten of the 15 registra-tion states show increa~ed death rates and 5, namely,Connecticut, Maine, New IIamp&ire, Rhode Island,and Vermont, show slightly lower rates for the lastyear. The rates of all of the latter states are high,however, dependent largely upon the relatively h&hage distribution of the population, which is an import-ant factor in cancer mortaLity. A decrease is evident inthe number of the larger cities showing rates in excessof the limit indicated in the table (80per 100,000 ofpopulation), only 12 being above this rate for 1908, as

compared with 16 for the preceding year. Manydeaths recorded in cities from this disease are those ofpersons from the surrounding country who resort tocity hospitals for operation, so that the true mortalityfrom this disease can not always be definitely judged.

HEART .DISEASE.

The total number of deaths from heart disease com-piled for 1908 was 60,038, the largest number everrecorded for the registration area. The death rate,however (133.3 per 100,000 of population), was some-what lower than that for 1907 (141 .7). The term“heart disease” includes many deaths that are not cer-tainly due to organic disease of the heart, although thedeaths reported from “heart failure” are not compiledunder this desiamation, but are assigned to the ill-defined and &own causes. Nevertheless, many”deaths that should be reported under other causesare apt to be included under this head, especiallythose of a sudden character in which no post-mortemexamination is held to ascertain the true cause of death.

In Table 5 the rates from this cause in excess of 175per iOOjOOOof population ,are desiagated by bold-facetype. Only 3 states—California (193.8), New Hamp-shire (181.3), and Vermont (190.6)—and 2 of thelarger cities—Washington, D. C. (195), and Worces-ter, Mass. (178.4)—exceeded this limit. As shown inTable 4, heart diseases have been increasing in im-portance as causes of death, the rates for each of thelast five years being greater than the average for thefive-year period 1901 to 1905 (124.9).

PNEUMONLA (ALL FORMS).

The disease properly designated as pneumonia is thelobar or croupous form, but many deaths “from thkcause are returned simply as rcpneumonia,” with nospecial qualification, so that it is uncertain whetherthey are really deaths from lobar pneumonia or frombronchopneumonia. It is desirable that greater careshould be used by physi~ians. in reporting broncho-pneumonia and lobar pneumonia, but in the mean-time it becomes necessary to compare the total deaths -

16 MORTALITY

from all forms of pneumonia in order to show the vari-ation in mortality for the’ past two years.

In Table 5 the total number of deaths from all formsof pneumonia for 1908 is given as 61,259, a decrease ofover 6,000 from the preceding year (67,320). Thedeath rate fell from 161.2for 1907to 136for 1908, anda decreased death rate is noted for each of the mainsubdivisions of the registration area. By referenceto Table 4 it will be seen that the death rate from pneu-monia for 1908 was lower than that for any other ofthe past five years and much below the average forthe quinquennial period 1901 to 1905, which was 159.3.The principal decrease, as shown in this table, is in thenumber of deaths returned from lobar and unqualifiedpneumonia, the death rate for which was for 1908only 98.8 as compared with 126.2 for the five years1901 to 1905. The rate (37.2) for bronchopneumoniawas slightly higher for 1908 than that for the five-yearperiod (33.1).

All the registration states, for which data are pre-sented in Table 5, show decreased death rates frompneumonia for 1908 as compared with the precedingyear, except only Colorado and South Dakota, inwhich very slight amotits of increase appear. ~

The majority of the larger registration cities alsoshow lower rates from this cause, and some of the ratesare phenomenally low. The only exceptions to the ruleof decreased death rates are Denver, Colo.; Fall River,Mass.; St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Nebr.; Paterson, N. J.;Cincinnati, Ohio; and Scranton, ,Pa. The amountsof increase are small, except for Fall River; Mass.(219.6 to’264.3), and Scranton, Pa. (141.7 to 178.3).

DIARRHEA AND ENTERITIS .

There were 52,213 deaths from diarrhea and enterit-is at all ages returned from the registration area for‘1908 as compared with 48,739 returned for 1907.The death rate, however, slightly decreased, namely,from 116.7 to 116? owing to the increased populationof the registration area. The rate for the year wassomewhat higher than the average for the five-year‘period 1901 to 1905 (109.8), although it must beremembered that the latter rate relates to the regis-tration area in its former extent before the additionalterritory of 1906 and 1908 was included.

The great majority of the deaths from this diseaseor aggregation of diseases are of infants under 2 yearsof age, more especially those nourished otherwise thanat the.breast. The enormous extent of the mortalitv ofinfants from diarrheal diseases may be inferred f~omthe fact that the aggregate death rate, over four-fifthsof which is due to deaths of infants under 2 years ofage, exceeds 1 per 1,000 of the total population andranks in the same class for general effect on the deathrate as heart disease and pneumonia, diseases whoseinfluence is felt upon all periods of age.

It is unfor@mately impracticable to estimate theactual population under 2 years of age so that direct*

.

3TATISTICS. .

comparisons can be made. As there is little or nosatisfactory registration of births with which the infantmortality from thk cause can be properly compared,it is difficult fully to appreciate the great importanceof diarrhea and enteritis as a destroyer of ini%ntilelife and to present comparable figures therefor. . ‘Evenas measured upon the scale of the total population, *the limit used in Table 5 is a high one (150 per 100,000of population) and the rates of some cities, especiallyFall River, Mass. (380.1), and Scranton, Pa. (208.9),greatly exceed it. The mortality from this disease,due largely to filth and lack of care, is concentrated.into a few of the late summer and early fall months, atwhich time the specific incidence of this disease uponthe special age period chiefly affected is extremelyhigh.

BRIGHT’S DISEASE.

Bright’s disease, which, as presented in Table 5.includes only the deaths returned from the presum-ably chronic forms of the disease, with the exclusion,of acute nephritis, caused 39,519 deaths in 1907 and39,203 in 1908, and the death rate decreased from94.6 to 87.1 per 100,000 of estimated population.The reason for the apparent discrepancy in the amountof decrease is the fact that additional populationwhose death rate from this disease was below the a;er-age was added to the registration area. All of themain subdivisions of the registration area showedreduced death rates for 1908 and fewer of the largerregistration cities showed rates above the limit (135per 100,000 of population), which corresponds verywell with the 150 employed in the last ammal reportfor nephritis and Bright’s disease conjoined. .

SUICIDE.

Suicide apparently caused many more deaths in,1908 than in 1907 or in any previous year given inTable 4. The increase from the number compiled fop1907 (6,745) to the number for 1908 (8,332) is espe-cially marked, and the death rate also rose from 16.2to 18.5. A similar increase occurred in each main ~subdivision of the registration area, and all the regis- ‘tration states, except South Dakota, showed “higherdeath rates for suicide for 1908 than for 1907.

The same increase in the death rate is noted in themajority of the larger registration cities, the exceptionsbeing Washington, .D. C.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Louis-ville, Ky.; St. Louis, IWO.; Newark, N; if.; R~chester,N. Y.; Syracuse, N. Y.; Cleveland, Ohio; l?lttsburg, :Pa.; Memphis, Term .;. and Milwaukee, Wis. Colum-bus, Ohio, showed the same rate, a high one (32.~),for each year.

poper reporting of deaths from suicide, many deathsthat would formerly have been returned without speci-fication of the true.cause are now designated as suicidesand compiled as such.

It is likely that all suicides are not yet properlyreturned as such, so that the apparent bcrease in thedeath rate from this cause may continue, although theactual ratio of suicides may remain unchanged. Itseems probable, however, from the general distribu-tion of increased mortality in all parts of the country,that some actual increase in the proportion of deathsfrom suicide occurred in 1908, but not to as large anextent as the figures would indicate.

ACCIDENT.

The total number of deaths from ac,cident compiledfor 1908 (44,089) was less than the number compiledfor the preceding year (45,803). Chv-ingto the addi-tion of new registration. territory the death ratedecreased in greater proportion, namely, from 109.7for 1907 to 97.9 for 1908. All the main subdhisionsof the registration area showed lower death rates fromviolent causes, as did all the registration states exceptIndiana and Vermont, in which slight amounts of in-crease appeared. A general decrease in the deathsfrom violence may also be observed among the largercities shown in Table 5.

OCCUPATIONS AND CAUSES OF DEATH..

The relation of occupation to mortality is one of themost important aqd also one of the most difEcult sub-jects of vital statistics. Difficulties are met with evenwhen the investigation is confined to the aggregatedeath rates of the various occupations, and are evenmore in evidence when the effects of individual causesof deaths are to be considered. After a given mass ofstatistical returns of deaths is subdivided with refer-ence to individual occupations, and the deaths byoccupations again subdivided with reference to causesof death, it is evident that, except for the most com-mon occupations and the most common causes ofdeath, the statistical groups are likely to become somuch reduced in size as to be unreliable for the com-putation of rates.

Au inherent d.ifbculty in the compilation of reliablestatistics of the mortality of occupations is that thedata are deri~ed from two different and largely inde-pendent sources. The returns of deaths received fromregistration states and cities are copies of the originalcertificates of death, upon which the statements inregard to the occupations of decedents may be madeby the relatives or friends, by the undertakers, or bythe attending physicians. The occupations of theliving population are stated by the census enumerwtors in more or less strict compliance with detailedinstructions prepared for their use. It is evident thatthe accuracy of statement may vary greatly in thetwo sets of returns, notwithstanding which fact theonly method of obtaining the death rates and derived‘tmortality figures” of occupations is by the directcomparison of the mortality and population returns.

Such a comparison was made for the census year1900,, and the results may be found in the Vital Sta-tistics of the Twelfth Census, Part I. Owing to theperemptory requirement of the census law that theprincipal reports should be published within two yearsafter the date of enumeration; and the fact that mor-

tality rates for occupations could not be computeduntil the deta~ed data for population were at hand,the investigation was cordi.nedto the returns from thereg&tration states. The aggregate population of theregistration states for that year was 17,444,280, con-sisting of 8,701,245 males and 8,743,035 females. Thetotal number of deaths of males aged 10 years andover was 104,511, of which number 83,815, br 80.2 percent, were reported as having gainful occupations.Of females aged 10 years and over there were 99,510deaths, 13,203, or 13.3 per cent, of the female decedentsbeing gainfully employed. 1

In the interval of seven years since the above reportappeared, there has been urgent demand for more.information in regard to the relation of occupation tomortality, and the tables presented in this bu&timhave been prepared to meet this demand as far as pos-sible, and more particularly to pave the way for morecomplete and accurate statistics of the mortality ofoccupations than have heretofore been available.Much work must be done before fully satisfactoryresults can be obtained, for it is true of all classes ofstatistical investigation that the completed resultscan not rise above theh source, and when the source is -seriously or fatally defective in accuracy the resulting .statistics will be questionable.

The occupational data presented in this bu~et@ and .which will be given in somewhat fuller detail in theannual report on Mortality Statistics for 1908, are de-rived from the compilation of all of the deaths of per-sons aged 10 years and over returned from the entireregistration area for the year 1908. The agawegatepopulation of this area was estimated, according to theusual method employed by the Census, at 45,028,767persons, or 51.8 per cent of the total estimated popul~tion of continental United States. The distributionof the decedents returned by sex, with specificationof the number returned as having been gafilly

O years ofThe number of deaths of occupied malesage and over (196,207) is more than double the num-ber (83,815) included.in the last compilation, but theper cent which such deaths form of all deaths reported(74.6) is less than the corresponding per cent for theyear of the Twelfth Census (80.2). This may be dueto a decreased accuracy of statement of occupationsupon the original certificates of death, to the fact thata certain proportion of the mortality returns for 1900were derived from or corrected by the enumerators’schedules, or perhaps to an actually larger number ofunemployed for the year 1908. The deaths off emalesaged 10 years or over are nearly twice as many asthose previously compiled, but the ratio of deaths ofemployed females to the total deaths shows a similardecrease (13.3 per cent to 11.7 per cent).

Although the volume of the returns is thus con-siderably greater than for the last compilation of occu-pational mortality statistics, one of the two essentialfactors is wanting to the production of definitive mor-talit y rates by occupations. The population, by occu-pations, can not be estimated for a year so remote fromthe date of the last general census. It is not practi-cable to estimate even the total number employed ineach occupation, much less their distribution by periodsof age. In fact, it has seemed unwise to attempt toestimate even the sex and age distribution of the gen-eral population; all census estimates have been confinedto total population, and employed solely for the pur-pose of temporary computations of crude death rates,which will be duly corrected as soon as the returns forthe next census are available.

If, then, it is impossible to compute accurate ratesof occupational mortality on the basis of the dataobtainable, it may be asked whether it is worth whileto present the figures contained in the present bulletin.The answer is that such iigures of relative mortality,

although, based solely upon the returns of deaths,afford much information of practical sanitary value,which may be safely used as a guide to the preventionof excessive ratios of mortality in certain occupationsfrom various diseases, e. g., tuberculosis, or from acci-dents. They ‘are frequently suggestive and point theway to more conclusive investigations. Moreover,at the present moment, when a concerted effort is tobe made by sanitary and statistical ~uthorities, andby the organized medical profession to improve thequality of registration returns of deaths with respectto the statement of the occupations of decedents, itis desirable to have a compilation for a recent yearprior to the attempt at improvement, to serve as abasis for measurement of the results obtained.

CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATIONS.

Another and even more cogent reason for the pres-ent compilation of causes of death and occupationsis the use that may be made of the data for the pur-pose of determining a more satisfactory classification ofoccupations for the presentation of mortality statistics.The classification employed in this bulletin is the sameas that under which the statistics of occupationsin relation to deaths were’ presented for 1900. Itconsists of 8 general classes and 66 individual titlesfor males, and 14 individual titles for females, notincluding the terminal “all other occupations” foreach sex. The titles are intended to correspond asclosely as possible to fairly’ well-defied specific OCCU- -pations, just as the titles in the tabular Liskof ‘causesof death are intended to represent. definite diseases.The introduction of the 8 general classes necessitated6 residual titles, under which “others of this class”

are included. They have no specific value, and, likethe residual titles of the list of causes of death, maybe neglected for statistical study, since they do notrelate to any detite occupation. There are in realitytherefore only 60 distinct occupations in the statis-tical classification that has been employed by the~Census for mortality statistics of males. This num-ber may seem small, but it should be recalled thatin the Supplements relating to occupational mortaIityprepared by the Registrar-General’s Office of Eng-land and Wales—our great source of exact informationrelating to this subject—there were, for the compila-tion of 1890 to 1892, only 100 separate occupations;and the last compilation, for 1900 to 1902, adds onlysome 15 additional titles. The English reports relatesolely to the occupations of males, because, in thejudgment of the compilers, the material was so incom- .plete as to be practically worthless for the occupa-tions of females.

These facts show the difficulty of preparing a satis-factory list of individual occupations for the studyof occupationa~ mortality. Although the English

. .

\

OCCUPATIONS .4ND

census presents data relative to nearly 400 occupa-tions, it was possible to give the mortality statisticsof occupations for only about 100, and for some ofthese the returns of deaths are too few to give a reliablebasis for mortality rates. In a similar way the con-densed list of occupations employed for mortalitystatistics by the United States Bureau of the Censusin 1900 and in the present bulletin for 1908 may becompared with the more extended list of 303 Occu:pations employed for the analysis of the. occupationsof the population.1 Many of the individual occupationsfound in the population census would not be returnedupon certificates of death, so that the direct compari-son of the population and mortality returns wouldbe impracticable in some cases. Both the condensedmortality classification of occupations (60 titles) andthe more extended population classification (303titles) are in reality reduced from the much moreextensive list of individual terms designating occu-pations, just as the titles of the tabular list of causesof death in the International Classification includemany individual names of diseases which are notseparately stated in the statistical tables.

What is needed, both for the mortality statisticsand for the population statistics, is a list containingall the more important individual occupations, andwith an exact statement of the terms included undereach of its titles. Such a list is being prepared bythe 13ureau of the Census, based on the terms em-ployed by the census enumerators in 1900 in reportingthe occupations of the general population. For thepurpose of securing a satisfactory adjustment of thislist to the requirements of mortality statistics a recentcompilation of the occupations reported on the cer-tificates of death is necessary. Such a compilationwill, moreover, furnish a means of determining thecomparative value for mortality statistics of the oldand the new classifications of occupations. For thisreason the occupations of decedents returned forthe year 1908 have been compiled according to theclassification employed for mortality statistics in1900, and for 1909 a similar compilation will be madein accordance with the full classification (3o3 titles)made use of for 1900 in the population report on occu-pations. Direct comparisons can thus be made ofthe value of the two systems, and with the suggestionsresulting from the comprehensive study of the constitu-ent terms of the population returns, it is hoped thata more complete and satisfactory classification, orrather Zkt of specific occupations, can be prepared forthe use of the Thirteenth Census in its reports uponthe population of the United States by occupationsfor 1910, and also for the compilation of the mortalitystatistics of occupations beginning with the sameyear. It is true of. till “classifications” of occupations,

10ccupationsat the Twelfth Census, 1904.

CAUSES OF DEATH. i9r

as it is of those of causes of death, that the cZassi$ca-tion in its ordinary sense of constituting more or lesstheoretical groups of related titles. is of no practicalconsequence. What is demanded for practical useis the establishment and exact definition, by the fullstatement of included terms, of ‘a standard list ofspecific occupations, concerning which the wayfaringman, as well as the expert statistician, is’ informed.The occupations li~ted should be stilciently numerousand distinctive in character, conditions of employment,environment, and other factors of a remediable oravoidable nature, so that exact Jmowledge of theireffect in injuring health and causing death may leadto practica] sanitary improvement.2

It need not be said, therefore, that the classificationof occupations employed in this bulletin is not espe-cially commended. Certain titles are fairly definite,while others are too comprehensive and include verydissimilar employments. By the aid of criticism,, inconnection with the m,ore detailed classification thatwill be shown for the following year (1909), a far moresatisfactory list of occupations can be devised for use,beginning”with the compilation for 1910.

RELATJXE MORTALITY OF OCCUPATIONS FROM OERTAIN

CAUSES.

The total number of deaths of occupied personscompiled for the year 1908 is shown for males inTable 6 and for females in Table 7;, by periods of age,and for certain important causes of death. The moreextended list of causes of death, which will be used inthe annual report, is presented in the following table,which shows for each cause and each sex the totalnumber of deaths and the.number and per cent formedof such deaths by the employed.

The relative importance of different diseases in oc-cupational mortality is largely affected by differencesin age distribution. This is roughly indicated by com-parison of the average and median ages at death for afew causes. Thus, without distinction of sex, the av-erage age at -d,eath of persons dying of typhoid fever inthe registration area was, for 1906, 28.2 years and themedian age was 25.5 years; the average and medianages of decedents from tuberculosis of the lungs were35.5 and 33.3 years, respectively; from cancer, 58.5 and59.4 years; from apopleq, 63.6 and 66.8 years; fromparalysis, 67.6 and 71.1years; from heart disease, 58.8and 63.2 years; from bronchopneumonia, 16.2 and 1.4years; from pneumonia (lobar and unqualified), 35.5 and36.7 years; from Bright’s disease, 56.5 and 59.3 years;from suicide, 43.5 and 42.2 years; and from total vio-lence, 34.7 and 33 years. The average age is obtainedby multiplying the number of deaths at each age by thatage and dividing the sum of the resulting products by

the total number of deaths. The median age is thatage at which -the decedents are equally divided, one-half being older than the median and the other halfyounger. Where the incidence of a disease is fairly

1

uniform thro,ugbout life the average and median agesapproximately agree, but where the deaths are con-centrated in the earlier ages, as is the case of broncho-pheumcmia, there may be wide divergence. The

c great economic value of life-saving from tuberculosisof the lungs is indicated by the fact that of all deaths

% of .-males from tuberculosis, 77.3 were deaths of malesgainfully employed, whereas in the case of deaths ofmales from all causes only 52.3 per cent were of thoseso employed. For females the corresponding per-centages are 18.8 and 8.3, respectively. .

For the purpose of this bulletin only the followingcauses of death, each of which (except typhoicl fever)was responsible for at least 5,OOOdeaths of male bread-winners during the year, are shown in Tables 6 and 7:Typhoid fever, tuberculosis of lungs, cancer, apoplexyand paralysis, heart disease, pneumonia (all forms), 1Bright’s disease, suicide, other violence.

The total number of deaths from these causes ofpersons reported as having occupations is, for males,13.8,259, and for females, 17’,434, or 70.5 per cent and66.5 per cent, respectively, of the total deaths of eachsex for which occupations were stated.

STATISTICS.

The number of deaths of female breadwinners fromeach of the specified causes except tuberculosis of thelungs is so small that anything but the most guardeduse of the figures is likely to lead to some of the well-Isnown statistical fallacies attendant ,upon the use ofsmall numbers. When a few deaths are subdivided byoccupations and age groups, some of the subdivisionswill’ contain only a few deaths, and the addition of asingle death might very appreciably affect any ratiosbased upon such a group. As the numbers increase inmagnitude the probability of such merely accidental

fluctuations becomes less. It is for this reason thatonly the causes to which were due the largest numbersof deaths are considered in this bulletin, and that oc-cupations for which less than 1,000 deaths were re-turned for the year are dropped from the list of occu-pations. The occupations discarded, for the presentpurpose, but which will appear in the annual report,are, with the number of deaths for 1908, as follows:

of occupational mortality of women, as ‘derived fromgeneral registration returns, are too scanty to be ofspecial value, and hence the tables relating to thedeaths of occupied females will merely be appended assupplementary to the corresponding .tables for deathsof occupied males, and will not be given special dis-cussion in this bulletin.

Examination of Table 6 or the text table with ratioson page 18 willshow that the majority of deaths ofoccupied males occur at the period of life between 25and 64 years, and that only at those ages and at theages 20 to 24 years are more than 80 per cent of allmales dying reported as having an occupation. Theage period 65 years and over is too long to be properlybrought into this comparison, agd moreover includesmany persons not in reality actively employed at thetime of death or ‘at the beginning of the illness whichcaused death. This age period will be subdivided inthe next report into the periods 65 to 74, 75 to 84, and85 years and over, which. will enable the study of theeffects of occupations to be carried to more advancedages, and the question of the reporting of the occu-pations of persons retired from their callings will beconsidered. In the meantime the great bulk of theactive business of life may be considered to be carriedon by men from 25 to 64 years of age, and hence thefour ten-year periods of life, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to54, and 55 to 64, are selected for special study inTables 6 to 11 in this bulletin relating to occupations.l?or each of these periods about 30,000 deaths of occu-pied males occurred, many more than for the period20 to 24 years. Moreover, the effects of certain occu-pations would not begin to be defitely shown untilthe workers had been subjected to them for a con-siderable time. Hence a better idea of the relation ofoccupations to causes of death may be obtained froma consideration of the ages 25 to 64 than from a con-sideration of the entire period 15 to 64. For females,however, the earlier ages will be given special con-sideration in the report, because breadwinners forma much larger proportion of the female decedentsaged 15 to 24 years than of the female decedents inany other age period.

Table 6 shows for males, and Table 7 foi females,the number of deaths in each occupation having notless than 1,000 deaths during 1908 from each causeresponsible for not less than 5,000 deaths of occupiedmales during the year (typhoid fever, 4,993), by thefour successive ten-year age periods comprising theprincipal working life of men, namely, 25 to 34 years,35 to 44 years, 45 to 54 years, and 55 to 64 years.Again, for certain occupations, the d.ifliculty of smallnumbers comes in and therefore, when for any occupa-tion the total number of deaths in one of the age periodspresented falls below 200, the numbers and percentagesgiven for that occupation in that age period are, as awarning, printed in italics. Italic figures, therefore,

21

indicate that the basic returns are small in number,and that the statistics are subject to aberrations andcan only be-depended upon when they are consistent intheir indications and harmonize with similar data. 1

Table 6 includes, in addition to the actual numberof deaths of occupied males described above, the percent which the deaths from each cause bear to theaggregate deaths from all causes, classified accordingto the age and occupation of the decedent. Thus itappears that out of the 196,207 deaths of occupiedmales at all ages, 29,433, or 15 per cent, were due totuberculosis of the lungs. This cause was responsiblefor 8,446, or 30.9 per cent, of the total deaths of malebreadwinners dy@ at the ages of 25 to 34 (27,366);for 7,453, or 24.3 per cent, of the total at the ages of35 to 44 (30,632); for 4,770, or 14.4 per cent, of thetotal at the ages of 45 to 54 (33,192); and for only2,524, or 7.6 percent, of the total at the ages of 55 to 64(33,301). It would seem, upon superficial examina-tion, that the mortality from tuberculosis of the lungsrapidly decreases. with advancing life, inasmuch as,while the total numbei of deaths conttiues to increase,the deaths,from this disease show a marked decline innumber and consequently in the percentage of deathsfrom all causes. But owing to the facts that the popu-lation decreases as the older age periods are reached,and also that the mortality caused by other diseasesassumes greater importance with advancing years, thetrue incidence of tuberculosis of the lungs as measuredby the number of deaths per 100,000 of populationexposed at each age period may remain stationary oreven increase, while the actual numbers of deaths andthe proportional mortality (percentage of deaths fromall causes) may show a “decline. This is clearly shownin the following table, comparing the deaths fromconsumption and phthisis, terms equivalent to tuber-culosis of the lungs, with the percentages of all causesand the specific death rates at each age period:

22 MORTALITY

Inthe registration states during the census year1900, as is shown in the above table, 29.4 per centof the deaths from consumption among males 10 yearsof age and over occurred in the age period 25 to 34years, while only 8.5 per cent occurred in the age pe-riod 55 to 64 years; “but the specific death rates forthese two ages were far more nearly the same—299.5and 246.9 per 100,000 of population, respectively. InEngland and Wales the per cent of the total deathsfrom phthisis amo~g occupied ‘males at least 15 yearsof age formed by those occurring in the age period 25to 34 (25.5) was greater than the per cent formed bythose in the age period 45 to 54 (20.9), yet notwith-standing this fact the death rate per 100,000 of pop-ulation rose from 203.2 in the former period to 304in the latter. ~ence the greatest caution must beexercised in the use of Tables 6 to 11, and emphasismust be placed upon a thorough understanding ofjust what they do and do not mean and for whatthey may and may not be used:

YhMes 6 to 11 contain no death rates or mortality

t jigumw for any occupation bawd upon the total numberof persons employed in that occupation, and hence theymust not be compared directly with occupational deathrates or with mortality jigures showing t?io relations ofdeath to the population in which the death occurred.

Tables 6 to 11 show only the relative importance ofthe several causes of death as compared with all othercauses combined at each of the specijied age periods for

,each occupation; the relative importance of a given causevaries inversely with the aggregate of all the other causes,and if an occupation is subject to unusually high mor-tality from a given disease, it will depress the ratio (percent) of every other.

Nevertheless, Table 6 conclusively shows some factsof great importance for practical sanitary purposeswith reference to the relative numbers of deaths fromthe causee indicated at the several age periods. It is a,.fact, for example, that in the registration area of theUnited States during the year 1908, 30.9 deaths out ofevery 100 deaths of occupied males who died betweenthe ages of 25 and 34 years were caused by tuberculosisof the lungs, or nearly 1 death out of every 3. It is afact that in the age period 25 to 34 years 41.9 deathsout of every “1OOdeaths of bookkeepers, clerks, andcopyists were from this cause; and that 40.1 per centof the barbers and hairdressers, 40.9 per cent of theservants, 44.1 per cent of the boot and shoe makers,49.2 per cent of the compositors, printers, and press-men, 41.2 per cent of the tailors who died during thisage period succumbqd to pulmonary tuberculosis ascompared with only 25.6 per cent for farmers and 5.3per cent for miners and quarrymen. It does not follow~that the death rate from tuberculosis of the lungs is inreality lower among miners and quarrymen, for example,than among printers. The very high ratio of deathsfrom accidents (62.1 per cent) of miners and quar~y~en

would greatly reduce the relat{ve importance, but notnecessarily the absolute death rate, of tuberculosis forthis occupation, as compared with the printers, whohave only a low ratio (7.3 per cent) from externalcauses. It is not necessary to compare the true deathrates of the various occupations from tuberculosis ofthe lungs to perceive the imme&e saving of valuablelives that would result from the prevention of tubercu-losis. It is shown conclusively that for the great major-ity of occupations given at the younger ages, the pre-vention of tuberculosis is of far greater importance thanthe prevention of any other cause of death.

Having clearly in mind the fact that all that Table 6attempts to do is to show the relatiye importance of thenine principal causes of death at each age period, itmay be permissible to state the ratios there shown foreach occupation in their relation to the average ratiosfor all specified occupations, the latter being taken as100 per cent. Table 8 presents these derived percent-ages for males, and Table 9 shows similar percefitagesfor the primary ratios for females given in Table 7.~hey maybe read as indicating that the relative import-ance of tuberculosis of the lungs as a cause of deathamong the bookkeepers, clerks, and copyists who diedin the registration area during 1908 between the ages of25 and 34 years (41.9 per cent) was 35.6 per cent inexcess of the relati~e importance of that disease as a -cause of death among all occupied males at the sameage period (3o. 9 per cent), this relation being expressedby the index number 135.6. During the next twodecades of life, the proportions of deaths from “pul-monary tuberculosis among bookkeepers, clerks, andcopyists are still higher (29. 6 per cent for age period 35to 44, 16.5 per cent for age period 45 to 54) than thosefor any of the other causes shown, and exceed by 21.8per cent and 14.6 per cent, respectively, the ratios ofall occupied males from this disease. For the lastdecade, however, 55 to 64 years, only 6.9 per cent of thebookkeepers, clerks, and copyists who die perish fromtuberculosis of the lungs; other causes, such as cancer(9 per cerit), apoplexy and paralysis (11.1 per cent),heart disease (15.4 per cent), and Bright’s disease (14.7per cent ), are more to be feared by this class ofworkers at that age.

For convenience of comparison the informationgiven in Tables 8 and 9 in regard to the relative im-portance of the various diseases for each occupationmay be arranged in tabular form with the occu~ationsshowing the greatest relative importance at the head.This is done for males in Table 10 and for females in,Table 11, although the very few occupations for.whicheven a fairly complete compilation can be made forwomen workers renders the latter of little value. Asof special interest in this connection, and for the pur-pose of supplying a corrective comparison based uponactual death rates of persons occupied and population,

Page 21: Mortality Statistics: 1908

\ OCCUPATIONS AND CAUSES OF DEATH. 23 .

Table 12 has been added from the Supplement uponoccupations recently published by the Registrar-General of England and Wales, and gives the highestand lowest mortality figures, as carefully elaborated byDoctor Tatham, for fo~ important causes of death—phthisis (tuberculosis of the lungs), pneumonia, sui-cide, and accident. These mortality figures are basedupon the English census of 1901 and the registrationreturns for the three years 1900 to 1902, and thus givea sufficient number of deaths for some of the smalleroccupations; while they include all age periods, insteadof stating separately the relative importance at suc-cessive decades, they are corrected for the differencesin age distribution. Many of the occupations differin their designations and nature from those foundin this country, yet some interesting and importantcorrespondences in the fibg.rreswill be noted.

Thus in Table 10 compositors, printers, ,and press-men are at the top of the list of relative proportions ofdeaths from tuberculosis of the lungs during the ages 35to 44 years, second from 45 to 54 years, and fairly~gh,but with a smalI numerical basis of deaths, for the lastperiod, 55 to 64 years. The English mortality figurefor phthisis among printers is 290 as compared with175 for all occupied males.

Again, servants show high ratios from tuberculosisin Table 10, ,and the laboring and servant class ex-ceeds any other during the last two decades, 45 to 64years. In the English statistics of Table 12 it is no-ticeable that the same occupations appear with highmortality figures: Inn (hotel) servant (London), 669;general laborer (industrial districts), 567; inn (hotel)servant (entire country), 533; general laborer (London),531; general laborer (entire country), 450; imikeeper,servant, etc., in London, 443; inn (hotel) servant (in-dustri~ldistricts), 426; inn (hotel) servant (agriculturaldistricts), 410; innkeeper, servant, etc., (entirecountry),306; dock laborer, wharf laborer, 291; innkeeper, serv-ant, etc., in agricultural districts, 288. With us, how-ever, the class of’{ public entertainment” is consistentlybelow the average, except for the first decade, 25 to34 years.

In respect to tuberculosis, clergymen are at the bot-tom of the English list and also of the American forthe only decade, 55 to 64 years, in which as many as200 deaths occurred of this profession during 1908.According to the English figures the calling of theminister is the healthiest of all occupations, except thatof the farmer, grazier, etc., in agricultural districts, theEnglish mortality figure from all causes being only 515for ministers as compared with 925 for all occupiedmales, and 2,471 for general laborers. Nevertheless,as the American figures show, subject to correction forinsticient returns, clergymen die’ more frequentlyfrom tuberculosis of the lungs than from other causes,as compared with the average of occupied persons, atthe ages 2.5to 34 years and 45 to 54 years, althoughsomewhat less frequently at the ages 35 to 44 years.

Again, miners and quarrymen, who are tmfortu-nately associated in a single title, are low in respect totuberculosis in the American figures up to 55 years,then nearly at the top of the list. Miners appear to

have a real immunity from tuberculosis, according tothe English f@res ‘for.all ages, and the sudden rise at55 years maybe due to the cessation of this arduousoccupation wit! advanc@g years.

Physicians and surgeons are below the average asto tuberculosis in each decade in the United States,and at the bottom or next to the bottom of the listbdween the ages of 35 and ‘54 years; the Englishmortality figure, which includes retired as well asoccupied medical men, is only 65, or fourth from thelowest figure given.

These are more than coincidences, and show thatthe ratios of comparative mortality are fairly trust-worthy for many purposes, and are always sugges-tive; care only should be taken that they are notused for more than their special purpose, that of show-ing the relative importance of the various diseases ascompared with all other causes. The. proviso ‘(otherthings being equal,” that is, that there is no excessivemortality from other causes to disturb the ratios,should always be borne in mind in using them. Forthis reason no attempt has been made to present ‘ratios for occupations at all ages, which might readilybe misused; when the figures are limited to a specificage period, the individual who makes reference tothem is much more likely to examine the full headingof the table and to note the limitations under whichthey are presented.

IMPROVEMENT OF STATEMENT OF OCCUPATION.

If information of the highest value concerning theeffects of occupations upon mortality is to be obtainedjgreater attention must be given to a precise state- ,ment of the occupation, and the provisions upon theforms used for the registration of deaths must besuch that the unskilled informant, whether a relati-ve,an undertaker, or a physician, will be led to give ade-quate information in regard to the true nature of theoccupation of the, decedent. Unlike the question ofcause of death, for which a great variety of forms hasbeen in use in the United States, the question of OGcupation has almost without exception been put inthe simplest way, merely the word “occupation”being used, with no explmation or hstruction and .no suggestions or examples ‘of how a blank should befilled out in this respect. As an example, the form ofthe question upon the standard certiilcate of death,which has been in use by the Bureau of the (lensusand by many registration states and cities since 1902,is represented below:

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

At the first meeting of the registration officials ofthe United States, organized as the Section on VitalStatistics of the American Public Health Association,at Atlantic City, October, 1907) some suggestions in

regard to the proper statement of occupation uponcertificates of death were submitted for consider~-tion. These were printed in the proceedings’ of thesection, and thus have been brou~ht to the-attentionof registration officials and statisticians throughoutthe country. They are as follows:

1. An attempt should be made to secure”not only the kind ofoccupation (e, g., laborer), but also the kind of industry (e. g.,pottery).

2. For satisfactory statistics of occupational mortality, it isdesirable to know the length of time employed from beginning theoccupation until death.

3. In case of a recent change of occupation (— 2 years beforedeath) it is desirable to know the previous occupation, which mayhave been the cause of change to a lighter employment and thepredisposing cause of death.

4. For persons unemployed it may be important to know thelast previous employment (—2 years before death), as this mayhave contributed to invalidism or retirement, and may have beena contributing cause of death.“ 5. Instructions in regard to the reporting of occupations should

be uniform in population, industrial and mortality schedules(certificates of death), and uniform instructions should be preparedfor physicians and local registrars and enforced by state registra-“t\onoffices, on this basis.

6. Occupations should be stated for all decedents over ten yeareof age (and for decedents under ten yeare of age if employed in amill, factory, or in any gainful occupation).

7. For children under ten years of age the occupation of thefather (or of mother, if not supported by father) should be obtainedon account of the great value of such information for a proper studyof infant and child mortality.

The following form and note are submitted forcriticism:

The recommendations were referrred to a specialcommittee on occupations, which, however, made no

! report at the meeting in the subsequent year atWinnipeg. Nevertheless the section considered the

,, propositions submitted and adbpted two of them,Nos. 1 and 6, which, under the constitution of thesection, became definite Rules of Statistical Practiceof the American Public Health Association. 3 Itseemed wise to defer consideration of the other sug-

gestions until the meeting to be held at Richmond,Vs., October 19 to 22,1909.

In the meantime it became evident that ‘a revisionof the standard certificate of death was necessary inorder that the new form could be adopted and put intoeffect throughout the United States with the beginningof the calendar year, January I, 1,910.As the state-ment of occupation forms an important part of thisblank, the Bureau of the Census prepared and sent toregistration officials some forms, of which the follow-ing met with general approval, and would undoubtedlybe successful in securing the full statement of occupa- ~~tion and the special statement of industry as well whenthe additional information is essential for the properdefinition of the occupation:

OCCUPATION

(a) Trade,profe&lon,or special employment, ---------------------------------------------------------

I (b) BusinessorIndus-try In which employed, .-_--------_--------------------.-.----------------._----_,

After the preparation of this original draft of arevised form of statement, a conference was held inregard to the final form of these questions upon thepopulation schedule to be employed for the ThirteenthCensus. The questions corresponding to those uponthe proposed standard certificate were worded asfollows :

Cotumn 19.—Trade or profession of, or particular kind of workdone by, this person, as spinner, salesman, laborer,etc.

Column 20.—General nature of industry, business, or establish-ment in which this person works, as cotton mill, dry goods store,farm, etc.

Column 2i.—Whether an employer, employee, or working onown account.

As there is no particular difference between the.above form and the original draft for, the revised stand-ard certificate, it is suggested that the latter be modi-fied so that it will correspond exactly: ,

I OCCUPATION

(a) Trade, profession, orpartlcu Iar kind of work, ----------------------------------------------------------

(b) General nature of industry,business, or establishment inwhich employed (or employer ?) .-----------------------------------------L--------

Agreement in the general use of this form will per-mit the carrying out of the recommendation that in-structioti fo; tie reporting of occupations should beuniform in the population and in the mortality sched-~es. As an example of minimum instructions pri+pared for this purpose, which could be printed uponthe back of every standard certificate of death usedin the United States, the following is submitted:

A’tat4ment of occupation.-Precise statement of occupation is veryimportant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits canbe known. For many occupations a single word or term on the firstline will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer, Physician, Stenographer,Com-positor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civil engineer, Stationaryfireman, etc. But in many cases, especially in industrial employ-ments, it is necessary to know (a) the kind of work and’also (b) the ,nature of the business or industry, and therefore an additional line

is provided for the latter statement; it should be used only whenneeded. As examples: (a) Spinner-(b) Cotton mill; (a) Sales-man—(b) Grocery; (a) Foreman-(b) Automobile factory. Thematerialworkedon mayformpartof the secondstatement. Neverreturn‘‘ Laborei,” “Foreman,” ‘tManager,” “Dealer,” etc., with-out moreprecisespeciilcation,as “Day laborer,” “Farm laborer,”‘‘ Laborer—Coalmine,” etc. Womenathome,withoutgainfulem-ployment, may be entered as “Housewife” or “At home,” andchildren, not gainfully employed, as “At school” or “At home.”If the occupationhas been changedor given up on account of theDISEASE CAUSING,DEATH,state occupation at beginning of ilkess.If retired from business, that fact maybe indicated thus: “Farmer,(retired, 6 yrs. ).”

The use of uniform questions for the statement ofoccupation and identical instructions in connectiontherewith will add greatly to the value-of the returnsof the occupations of persons living and of personsdeceased, and should mark the beginni~~ of progres-sive improvement in the mortality statistics of occu-pations for this country. It is not necessarily impliedthat the occupational -mortality should be stated by

industries in the statistical reports. The kind of workthat a man performs-his trade, profession, or partic-ular kind of employment as related to the individ-ual—may be more important than the massing ofwxed occupations qnder great industries. The vitalstatistics are of the greatest benefit for individualworkers and classes of workers, and the trade, or par-ticular kind of labor that a man performs, is of the ,greatest interest in this connection. In order that thekind of labor that a man performs should be definitelyknown, however, it is frequently necessary that theindustry or business in which he is engaged should beknown as well as the particular occupation in the nar-row sense. Hence the provision for the general state-ment of industry, business, or establishment in whichemployed, in order to def.ne the real nature of the de- “cedent’s occupation, which, in ‘the absence of thisinformation, might be too indefinite for satisfactorycompilation.

SECOND DECENNIAL REVISION OF TIIE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF CAUSES OFDEATH.

The statistical classification of causes of death i: a, matter of fundamental importance to every registra-

tion office. Upon the uniformity and precision withwhich the multitudinous terms desia~ating the causesof, death as reported by physicians are assiawed to thenecessarily limited list of titles of the formal statisticalclassification, depend, to a very great degree, the ac-curacy and usefulness of the mortality statistics. Allcompilation of causes of death should be made bytrained experts, according to definite rules, and underconstant medical supervision, so that the necessaryinquiries can be made of the reporting physicians inregard to indefinite or ambiguous statements uponcertificates of death, and that more complete and cor-rect information can be obtained when necessary toclefine the true cause of death.

It is evident that much of the value of the statisticaltables relating to causes of death will be lost if they arenot fully available for comparative purposes. A uni-versal ,statistical classification of causes of death thatshould be used by every city, sts%e, and country in theworld that publishes mortality reports has been thehope of vital statisticians for many years. This endhas not yet been attained, although there is a greaterdegree of correspondence between all of the nationalmethods of classification at present than in times past,and a large number of the nations of the world haveunited in the use of an absolutely identical systemknown as the “International Classification of Causesof Death and Siclmess, ” the second decennial revisionof which has just taken place, under the auspices of theFrench Government, at Paris, July 1 to 3, 1909.

The Bureau of the Census was, one of the first na-tional offices in the world to employ the International.

Classification for the compilation of a vast mass ofstatistics, the returns of deaths from the registrationarea of the United States for the calendar year 1900.Although the registration area does not extend over -the entire territory of continental United States, itrepresented at that time a population of 30,765,618, . ‘or 40.5 per cent of the total population of the country,and the deaths compiled numbered 539,939 for theyear, or more than those compiled in any other nationaloffice of the world except England and Wales (587,830),Russia (3,055,030), Germany (1,236,382), Austria(658,680), France (853,285), Italy (768,917), andJapan (914,557). All these countries have completenational registration of vital statistics. The First De-cennial Revision, which was held at Paris in Auawst,1900, and which did not go into effect as a rule untilemployed for the statistics of 1901, was thus used bythp Bureau of the Census for the year of revision (1900),and has been employed in the series of annual reportsthat began with that y,ear, displacing the old censusclassification that was employed for the mortality sta-tistics of the Twelfth Census (year ending May 31,1900). It will be used for the next report, that for thecalendar year 1909, but for the extremely importantdata of 1910, which will be directly comparable withthe population as enumerated by the Thirteenth Cen-sus as of date April 15, 1910, the new and greatly im-proved Second Decennial Revision of 1909 will be em-ployed. For that year, with possibly 60 per cent ofthe total population of the United States represented,the number of deaths will probably exceed those ofany other national offices except those of Russia, Ger-many, France, and Japan. This is a vast mass of sta-tistics, which would be truly national in character ex-

Page 24: Mortality Statistics: 1908

cept for the fact that the South has as yet no effectivestate registration.

The possibility of having the newly revised classifi-cation available for the use of the United States at thebeginning of the census decade 1910 to 1919, and forthe extremely important comparisons of mprtality andpopulation data for the calendar year correspondingto the approaching census of population, was broughtabout by requests addressed by the Bureau of the Cen-sus in 1906 to the registration authorities of the variouscountries that participated in the first revision, withthe cordial approval of Dr. Jacques Bertillon, secretary-general of the international commission, and the acqui-escence of the French foreign office. Otherwise therevision would not have occurred until 1910, and themortality statistics of the census year would have hadto be compiled according to a system soon to be dis-carded. As it is, the new revision is available whenmost needed by the United States, and the registrationstates and cities of this country, as well as the l?ede~alGovernment, are greatly indebted to the courteouscompliance of the other countries with the desire ex-pressed for an earlier date of revision. The purposeof the decennial revision, as expressed in the originalpropositions therefor made by the American. PublicHealth Association in 1898 and indorsed by the Inter-

. national Statistical Institute in 1899, is that the classi-fication can be kept abreast of the constantly advanc-

“ ing knowledge of pathology, so that the sanitaria andphysician who desires to consult the official statisticsof causes of death will not be obliged to employ obso-lete and discarded medical terms. For the same rea-son the Nomenclature of Diseases of the Royal Collegeof Physicians of London has been revised every ten,years since 1869, and the American Medical Associa-tion, t~ough its committee on nomenclature, is plan-+g a similar authoritative work for this country,which will likewise need to be kept up to date by peri-odical revisions.

REPORT OF THE CENSUS COMMISSION.

The Bureau of the Census, by its division of vitalstatistics, is the national registration office of theUnited States. It receives transcripts of the originalcertificates of death from all the registration states andcities and compiles the only general mortality statis-tics of the country. It is therefore particularly con-cerned in the representation of the United States in theInternational Commission of Revision, upon whose deci-sions depend the methods of compilation and presenta-tion of the annual reports on mortality statistics for thenext ten years. It has recognized, moreover, that thestate and city registration officials are equally inter-ested with the Bureau of the Census in the work of re-vision, because all of them (with the exception of thoseof a few cities) employ the International Classificationin their annual reports and their weekly or monthly

bulletins of mortality. It is hoped that all cities wilI.use the revised classification of 1909, instead of em-ploying some local method that has no value for gen-wal comparisons, and is frequently very imperfect orwen ridiculous in its arrangement. The special in-terest of the medical profession has also been enlisted,because upon the general approval by the physicians.of the country of the forms of statistical presentation ofcauses of death must depend much of the usefulness ofmortality reports. Moreover, the physicians of thecountry czin not be expected to follow detailed instruc-tions in regard to the proper. reporting of the causes ofdeath upon the certificates of death which they make.out, when such instructions are based upon a systemof classification and nomenclature of diseases whichthey had no part in framing, and of which they maynot fully approve.

It is for these reasons that the Bureau of the Census.has sought the cooperation of the organized registra-tion officials and of the medical profession of the UnitedStates in the work of preparing recommendatiotis forthe revision of the statistical classification of causes ofdeath, and for the broader and more difficult task ofbuflding up an authoritative nomenclature of diseases.for the United States. The text of the last annual.

report ~ Mortality Statistics, 1907’, shows how gener-ously and cordially the official registrars and the com-mittees of the American Medical Association and.many other national medical organizations have coop-erated for what will ultimately result in the funda-mental improvement of the entire mortality statis-tics of the United States, and therefore, in the increased.efficiency of all its sanitary agencies, national, state,and municipal.

It is especially gratifying that the Congress of th~United States recognized the importance of this -workand the value of the assistance of the registrationofficials and the medical profession in building upbetter mortality statistics for the United States, andmade special provision for the adequate representationof the registration service of the country in the SecondDecennial Commission of Revision. The paragraphrelating thereto is given below, together with the fulltext of the law (Public—No. 1) passed at the recentspecial session:

REVISION Ol?TEE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION 013DISEASES

AND CAUSES Ol?DEATE, PARIS,JULY 1 TO 3, 1909.

WASHINGTON, D. C.j August Z, 1909.SIR: The undersigned, members of the special Census Commis-

sion appointed by you to attend the Second Decennial Revision ofthe International ClaesMcation of Diseases and Causes of Death,Paris, July 1 to 3, 1909, have the honor to submit the followingpreliminary report:

Two of the members of the commission, Doctor Batt, chairman ofthe committee on classification of the American Public Health As-sociation, representing the organized registration officials of theUnited States, and Doctor Wilbur, chief statisticim of the census,sailed from New York on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der GrosseJune 22 and arrived at Paris on June 29. One of the members,Doctor Foster, chairman of the committee on nomenclature andclassification of diseases of the Americsm Medical Association, was,at the last moment, unable to sail, and it was then too late to providefor a substitute in behalf of the organized medical profession, whichhe particularly represented. Fortunately, the recommendationsof his committee were in the hands.,of the other members of yourcommission in attendance on the international commission, andthus the wishes of American physicians in regard to the form of theclassification under which their reports will be compiled in theUnited States for the ensuing ten years were given full considera-tion.

On arriving tit Paris the first step was to secure full credentialsthrough the kind agencies of Hon. Henry White, American Ambas-sador, and the State Department at Washington, for the delegateswhose lateness of appointment had precluded the earlier issue oftheir authorizations. This was accomplished by cable and by spe-cial expedition on the part of the French foreign office, so that allof the American delegatee took part in the regulsx proceedings of

. the first day’s session of the international commission.The American delegates in attendance were the following:Dr. Frank L. Pleadwell, surgeon, United States Navy.Prof. Walter F. Willcox, Cornell University.

Dr. H. D. Geddings, Assistant Surgeon-General, Uriited StatesPublic Health and Marine-Hospital Service.

Dr. William H. Guilfoy, registrarof records, city of New York.Dr. Wilmer R. Batt, state registrar, Pennsylvania.Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician, United States Census.Twenty-one countries were represented in the international com-

mission, which met in the spacious hall of the ministry of the ih-terior. The labor of the delegates was greatly facilitated by theExposh sommaire. des observations pr.A-ent6es par diverses autoriti%stutistigues, a pamphlet of 130 pagee prepaxed by the ‘secretary-general, Dr. Jacques Bertillon, a copy of which accompanies thisreport. This pamphlet contains the suggestions submitted by thevarious countries, except such as came up during the course of thesession. A full printed report of the proceedings (p~ock-wn%auc)is now in preparation by Doctor Bertillon, and will be submittedby your commission as a part of its final report.

The proceedings were hemnonious and matked by full apprecia-tion of the important principle that, in view of the inestimable ad-vantages of international uniformity, some preferences of each ofthe individual countries must be subordinated in order to makethe resulting classification of the greatest value to all of the coun-tries as a whole- A very considerable number of the Americanrecommendations were approved; especially was the entirerearrangement of deaths from violent causes, as suggested by theAmerican delegates, adopted in principle and in a way that willaid greatly in the proper presentation of the statistics relating tothis very important class of deaths.

In accordance with a resolution of the international commission,it -wasdecided to prepare an official version of the titles in each lan-guage represented. Doctor Wilbur was selected to prepare theEnglish translation, and was aided by the American delegates andalso by Hon. G. H. Knibbs, commonwealth statistician of Austra-lia. Precisely the same tabular list will thus be used in all Englieh-speaking countriee employing the International Classification.

In recognition of the active interest of the United States in thepromotion of international uniforfnity, the honor of the vice-pres-idency of the international commission was extended to DoctorWiIbur, and he presided over one of the sessions.

The session closed on July 3, and on the following day the dele-gates were received by the President of France and Madame Fal-Ii&es at the filys6e Palace. Provision was made for the calling, bythe French Government, of the Third Decennial Commission ofRevision, should no other arrangement be made, in 1919. It isthus insured, as originally proposed by the United States CensusBureau, that each decennial revision shaIl take place in the yearprior to the federal census, the enabling the latest and most ac-ceptable classification of causes of death to be used for the censusyear. It is hoped that the next decennial revision, that of 1919,may be held at Washington. A suggestion to this effect was wellreceived, although, of course, no formal invitation could be ex-tended. The progress of American vital statistics, to which re-newed impetus will be given by the action of Congressin providingfor representation in this commission of the registration officialsand medical men upon whom the Federal Government is dependentfor its mortality data, should by that time well warrant the favor-able consideration of an invitation born the American Government.

The cordial thanks of the members of this commission are due tothe officialsof the French Government, and especially to Dr. JacquesBertillon, secretary-general, and M. Lucien M~rch, chef de la statis-tique ginhale de la France, and to Hon. Henry White, Americanambassador, for aid and courtesies extended.

Respectfully submitted.WILMER R. BATT.

OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE REVISED LIST

OF TITLES.

In accordance with a resolution adopted by the Inter-national Commission, it was considered desirable thatan official list of titles of the revised InternationalClassification should be prepared from the Frenchversion for each of the languages represented in thecommission. This was necessary because some con-fusion had heretofore arisen as to the terms to be em-ployed in various languages, and an exact and literaltranslation of the French might result in the inclusionin the statistical lists of terms that are entirely absentfrom the medical nomenclature of the country. As& example, abcds froid et par congestion, of the oldclassi.fkation, if literally translated as ‘(abscess, coldand by congestion,” presents a title that does not cor-respond with the medical terms ordinarily used byEnglish-speaking physicians. The chief statisticianof the Bureau of the Census was appointed by the In-ternational Commission to prepare the English list,and for valuable assistance thanks are due to DoctorPleadwell and other American delegates and to Hon.G. EL Knibbs, commonwealth statistician of Australia,as well as to Doctor Bertillon personally, in whoseoffice at Paris a part of the work was performed. TheEnglish list was made originally on the basis of thefirst copy of the revised list prepared by Doctor Ber-tillon, and as some changes were noted in a secondlist received after returning to the United States, itmay be that a few minor corrections will appear inthe final and definitive list which will be published in,“the annual report on Mortalit y Statistics, 190s.

In adapting the first revision of the InternationalClassification t{” the use of the Bureau of the Censussome of the titles were considerably simplified and va-rious subdivisions were made in order to give specialinformation in regard to certain ,causes of death notseparately stated in the international list. For theSecond Decennial Revision, however, this practice willbe followed only in part. The full official Englishtranslation of the titles of the International Classifi-cation will be used without any change or alterationfor the principal tables of causes of death. Each titlewill be- preceded by its serial number, so that easyreference can be made to the statistics’ of individualcauses by statisticians in other countries who are notfamiliar with the English language. Many of thenumbers have remained uncha@ed, so that title No. 1stands for typhoid fever, title No. 79 for organicdiseases of the heart, etc., just as they have since 1900in every country using this system. This is a greatpractical convenience and insures accuracy in con-sulting foreign reports. It is recommended that allthe American states and cities use the full internationaltitles, preceding each with its list number. Of course,for many purposes, selected titles may be taken fromthe general list, in which case it is desirable also that

the list number should be retained; or if two or moretitles are combined, the basis of the union should bestated plainly, so that it will be known just what in-ternational titles are involved. For use in bulletins,and for certain purposes in annual reports where a.condensed list of diseases is advisable, the abridgedform of the International Classification may be. used.

It should be understood by physicians and patholo-.gists who examine the titles of the revised Interna-tional Classi.iication that it is necessary for statisticalpurposes that many indefinite arid unsatisfactoryterms be retained because physicians still continue tPreport deaths thereunder. It is planned to publish.and distribute to physicians and local registrars in theUnited States a pamphlet containing the titles of theInternational (Yassification, showing which of themare proper terms according to the present ideas ofmedical nomenclature, and also containing inforrn~tion as to more specific statements that should’ be re-quired relative to certain causes. For example, “ can-.cer” is an indeil.nite term. The physician shouldspecify carcinoma, sarcoma, or other form of malig-nant neoplasm, and if this were done, it would be. ‘practicable to present tables sho~g the distributionof the definite forms of malignant disease. In prac-tice, however, so many deaths are reported simply as.“ cancer” that the attempted distinction in statisticaltables is of little value, and hence the second revision,like the first one, does not undertake to make it. Thisis no reason, however, why local registrars should notendeavor to obtain statements of a more specific char-acter whenever possible in regard to deaths from ma-lignant growths.

The International Classification is elastic. While.providing a fixed form for the statistical titles of thetabular list and a speciiied order of’ arrangement ofthose titles, it is entirely consistent with its pr@ciplesto employ various different subdivisions of the titleswheq such are considered necessary. As an example,for the mortality statistics of the United States Army,the Surgeon-General requires minute differentiations,in the monthly reports of sick and wounded in ,regardto malaria. Malaria constitutes a single title (No. 4)of the International Classification, with one subdi- ~~vision for the special statement of deaths from malarialcachexia when these are sufficiently ‘numerous to re-quire such a statement to be made. The Surgeon-.General subdivides the title as follows:

4. Malarial fevers: .1. Nonmalignant infection.

a. Intermittent.b. Remittent or continued.

2. Malignant (estivo-autumnal) infectipn.a. Intermittent.b. Remittent or continued.c. Pernicious.

1’

24-. Undetermined infection.a. Intermittent.b. Remittent or continued.

3. Malarial cachexia.4. 13emoglobinuric fever.

Page 27: Mortality Statistics: 1908

REVISION OF INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION. 29’

Such minuteness would, of course, be entirely im-practicable in general mortality returns, althoughextremely desirable when, as in the case above, thereports are made by, army surgeons who can be re-quired to make the specific distinctions desired; yettlie aggregate of the various forms of.malaria returnedis exactly equivalent to title 4 of the InternationalClassification and is thus fully comparable with thecivil records compiled under this system. For thecensus tables certain subdivisions will be made ofvarious titles of the International Classification, as,for example, title 92, pneumonia, will be subdividedinto deaths returned from (u) lobar pneumonia andits deiinite synonyms, such as croupous pneumonia,and deaths returned simply from (b) pneumonia,without further definition. These latter, in many

instances, may have been bronchopneumonia. Dr.John Tatham, medical superintendent of the Registrar-General’s ofllce of England, makes a similar ditler-entiation in the forms of pneumonia, specify~~ alsoepidemic pneumonia, although the nomenclature ofthe Royal College of Physicians gives only pneumoniaas the accepted term. The orthography of the list,which diflers somewhat from that previously used in,the annual reports, is that recommended by the com-mittee on nomenclature of the American lMedicalAssociation.

Lastly, in examining the gdneral form of the “ clas-sification,” it should be remembered that the scientificcla.stijicationof diseases, in the primary sense of theword, is a thing apart from the object of this list,which is merely a .Zistof causes of death, arranged byinternational agreement for use in mortality tables.The use of the word “list” in this connection isstrongly recommended by such efient authorities as

‘ Dr. Arthur Newsholme and Dr. John Tatham, andfollows the practice of the latter in the tables of causesof death in the annual reports of the Re~istrar-Generalof England, wherein only the individual causes arepresented and the so-called classes or groups of dis-

‘ eases are dispensed with. A motion to dispense withthe “classes “ in the international system nearly pre-vailed at Paris, but the general opinion favored theretention of the ‘t classficationj” as a mere, ikeletonupon which to arrange the all-important individualtitles, for at least one decade more. In the annualreports on mortality statistics prepared by the Bureauof the Census very little attention will be paid to the‘f classes7’ of diseases in future, and the word ‘i classi-fication,” which is familiar to registration officialsand statisticians in the special sense of a mere tabulararrangement of causes of death (see Mortality Sta-tistics, 1907, page 22), will be abandoned more andmore in favor of the terms “list” or “tabular list.”The full statement of the individual terms embracedunder each of the titles of the list of causes of deathwill be published as soon as the official French report

s available, thus furnishing for the revised classi5.ca-bion what will correspond to the Manual of Interna- ,tional Classi6.cation of Causes of Qeath which waspublished by the Bureau of the Census in 1902 and isnow generally in use by all the registration offices ofthe United States in connection with the present.system.

Meningitis is allowed to remain in its formerpositio~ in order to preserve unchanged a large number of old num-bers. The title numbers designated by an asterisk (*) are thosethat remsin the same as before the revision. [The remark upon ~ “

meningitis refers more particularly to cerebrospinal fever (syno-

The statistics of causes of death should be presented with as fulldetail as possible with respect to age, and with at least the followinggroups: O to 1 year; 1 to 19 years; 20 to 39 years; 40 to 59 years;60years and over. The second group should be divided whenevd

possible into 1 to 9 years and 10 to 19 years.

Of the 9Sother occupational groups the mortality of 34 was above, that of 1 equal;o, and that of 63 below the mortaht y of” occupied males.”

EXPLANATORY NOTE ON TABLE 12.—The meaning of the term “ comparative mortality iigure” is thus ex Iained in the Supplement (page xi): “In the course1of the three years 1900-02there were registered 284,009deaths of males between the ages of 25 and 65 years, and t ese deaths occurred in the course of 20,166,153years of

fife-a nmnber equal to thrice the population enumerated at these ages at the time of the last Census. Thus, among males generally, within these age limits, Z,000deaths occmTed annually among 71,005living; and if th~ latter number be divided proportionally to the numbers enumerated in the fatter Census, it will be foundthat 26,259of them were Ziving at ages 25-35 years, 20.407at a es 35-45 years, 14,74Sat ages 45-55 years, and 9,591 at ages 55-65 years. This nnmber (71,005) has been

:adopted sc the ‘standard population,’ which, subject to the ra es of mortality obtained in the several age grou s among mak?s generally, produced 1,000deaths annualZy.If the four constituent numbers above mentioned be multiplied by the death rates recorded at the cor’respon mg age roups in each occupation, the sum of theproducta$!will give the number of deaths that would occur in the stsndard population, snpposinq it to have ex erienced the dea h rates which prevailed in that occupation. Thisfigure is called the ‘comparative mortaZity figure >for the occupation.>> $The italics are used in the nglvsh tables for a purpose different from that for which they wereemployed in Tables 6 to 11; they denote groups of occupations or locaZized or other subdivisions of some of the numbered occupations of the EngZishfist.
