HIGHER MATERNAL MORTALITY
Greatest Proportional Rate For Years
BRITAIN'S HEALTH, KEPT
UP WELL
There is clear evidence that the Inational health was well maintained
in 1983, and compared favourably with past years. These words summarize the main conclusions to be drawn from the "Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health for the Year 1088," issued last month in London..
The statistical studies of causes of death show that while the general- rate per 1,000 is a few decimal points up at 12.3 compared with 12.0 in 1932 and 11.4 In 1930, the infantile mortality rate has declined to the record figure of 64 as com- pared with 66 in 1932, Cancer has accounted for more deaths than in the previous year, but this re- corded increase is partly explained by better diagnosis and part- ly by an increase in the elderly section of the population.
Disease of the heart, and circula- tory system still accounts for the largest number of deaths, there nore slightly fewer suicides, more deaths from road accidents, slightly- more deaths from scarlet fever, two only, from small pox, and å still further decrease in deaths from tuberculosis,, continuing the down- ward trend of recent years. The most serious feature of the returna, however, is that the maternal mor- Įtality rate is at 4.51 per thousand live_births, actually the highest re- corded the years,
