Of the deaths recorded in the St. Anne Soho funeral day books from 1814 through 1828, nearly half were for children under 5 yr of age. Relatively few persons died from age 5 to age 15, but then the proportion of deaths rose steadily to a peak in the 40-49-year group. Decline, convulsions, and inflammation account for about half of all deaths, the causes of which were often vague and inexact.
在圣安妮苏活区1814年至1828年葬礼日记录的死亡案例中,近一半是5岁以下儿童。5岁至15岁死亡的人数相对较少,但随后死亡比例稳步上升,在40至49岁年龄组达到峰值。衰退、惊厥和炎症约占所有死亡原因的一半,其病因往往模糊不清。
