39. Notifications of tuberculosis during 1966 showed an increase over the previous year, an event which, at least in part, may have been a result of the intensified case finding programme, especially the increased contact examinations. Figure 7 shows the changes which have taken place in the age and sex specific notification rates. It will be seen that there have been marked reductions in incidence of the disease during childhood, that there has been little change in the vulnerability of adolescents and that there has been some reduction in incidence amongst young and middle-aged adults. The relative susceptibility of males, except in childhood, corresponds with the well-documented pattern recorded elsewhere in the world.
