Maine FOLKS live LONGER
REVISION OF HEALTH DATA
MAKES A BETTER SHOWING

"Folks live longer in Maine" ac-
cording to an announcement here,
yesterday, from the office of the
Maine Public Health association.
The announcement is based on a
study of mortality statistics for
Maine and the other 33 states in the
registration area, made by the Statis-
tician Of the National Tuberculosis
association.
The study was made at the request
of the Maine Public Health associa-
ton following q recent announce
ment from Washington that Maine
had one Of the highest death rates
in the entire country. 1t develops
that the figures on which the original
announcement was made had not
been classified with relation to deaths
of non-residents and other factors
which-when considered-give Maine
q decided advantage when compared
with the average from other states.
Here are some of the interesting
facts disclosed in the analytical
study which was made by Miss Jessi-
mine Whitney. statistcian for the
National tuberculosis association:
The average age at death for the
"a registration states for the year
1920 was AL. For the same year the
average age at death in Maine was
40 years.
The death rate in the registration
area for the year 1920-the most re-
cent year for which complete figures
are available-for the following dis
eases. typhoid, influenza. tuberculosis,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles,
whooping cough syphilis and Group
was 243.3 per 100000 population. The
rate in Maine for the same diseases
in that year was 226G per 100000
population.
In Maine 2S.1 per cent. of our en-
tire living population in 1920 was
As years or older. In the remainder
Of the country only sos per cent. of
the population was As years old or
older. For all age groups under As.
