Extract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse briefly the relative significance of the principal causes of death which currently prevail in the United Kingdom. The work is a sequel to that of references and, in which various life tables were produced from the data of the 1971 U.K. census and the numbers of deaths during the years 1970 to 1972. These earlier papers, however, study mortality without reference to the underlying causes of death.
