Overview

Excerpt from United States Life Tables, 1910: Prepared Under the Supervision of Prof. James W. Glover of the University of Michigan The life tables included in this report exhibit at each age, among other things, the rate of mortality per thousand, the complete expectation of life in years, and the average annual death rate per thousand. It is believed that the population and mortality statistics upon which these values are based warrant confidence in the results. All the tables are shown separately for males and females, and are chiefly con cerned with mortality conditions prevailing in the area referred to as the original registration states, comprising Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and Michigan, and the District of Columbia. In addition to life tables for males and females in the original registration states, other tables are given for certain broad classifications of the same population. These are white, negro, native white, foreign-born white, white in cities, and white in rural districts. Life tables are also given for five of the large registration states - Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York. One table for both sexes appears; it is based on the total population, including both males and females, of the original registration states. Much attention has been given in recent years, to the improvement of infant mortality Owing to the lack of reliable statistics on birth registration in most communities it is difficult to calculate the rate of mortality during the first year of life. It changes very rapidly, decreasing from a monthly rate of about 40 or 50 per thousand in the first month of life to 4 or 5 per thousand in the twelfth month of life.
