T.B. und Accidents Responsible For Over Is of AIuskun Deaths

i8l.6 Alaska tuberculosis death rate for l949 appears monstrous beside the l9#3 rate of 30 in the States. but comparison of the U. $. rate with that of the native population alone would mark the problem as l2 to Is times as great as that in the States Alaska's in- fant death problem IS also shown in the statistical breakdown by race to be mainly among races other than white. The medical att tendance record for births ia the Territory was good on the whole, but the lack was starkly revealed in many outlying districts. In the Kotzebue-BarroW area, for in- stance, physicians officiated at only l4 out of 138 births. In the Nome area, they delivered 65 out of l89 babies. The Nulato and Bethel areas also showed more nurses, midwives, and "others" ," delivering babies than physicians. In contrast, only 6 babies out of 995 born in the Anchorage-Palm- CT area were not delivered by physicians.
 These birth statistics also focus attention on the growth of the Territory. The 1949 ratio of three births to every death gives evil dence of a healthy population

 portant killers in the first de- tailed statistical analysis Of the Territory's vital statistics follow ing the transfer of the Bureau of Vital Statistics to the Alaska De- partment of Health, April l, l949.
 In two nimeographed reports recently released by the Bureaus director, Francis E. Kester-- Know Alaska Better through Facts and Figures" and Why are Vital Statistics Important?"--vi- tai statistics from the year l949 are so analysed that Territorial Department of Health officials find their work mapped out for them with vivid emphasis.
 The reports show that tubercu- losis and accidents accounted for more than one third of all deaths in the Territory in l949 Tuber- culosis accounted for 1915 percent of the total and accidents Is per cent. In the United States as a whole, these two causes were re- sponsible for less than 10 percent of the deaths in 1948. Tubercu- losis claimed only 3 percent of lives lost in that year, while ac- cidents took 6.8 percent.
 Motor vehicles accidents were responsible for 25 of the 189 ac- cident deaths in the Territory dur ing 1949. ChaIked up to aircraft accidents were 18 deaths, and 49 to drowning
 Alaskans Relatively Young
 That the Alaskan population is relatively young in comparison with that of the States is demon strated in a comparison of deaths from the Killers" of the advan- ced age, five of which were re- sponsible for nearly tWo-thirds of the deaths in the U. s. population. Heart disease, cancer and cere- bral hemmorrage claimed less than half as many lives on a per centage basis in Alaska as they did in the States.
 Suicides, honicides, and alco- holism were causes listed for 6.0 percent of the deaths in Alaska the same percent as the acident toll in the States. By these criter- ia of instability, Alaska's popu- latiou compares untavorably with the rest of the country, where only 1.9 percent of the 1940 deaths were attributed to them.
 Alaska's AIS deaths of infants under l year for every 1000 live births in 1949 didn't compare too favorably with the remarkable decline in infant mortality re- vealed in U. s. rates, which were in the low thirties for the years 1946-1948.
 However, these same statistical analyses not only point out the overall health problems; they al so point to the areas and the peoples where the problems exist. For the purposes of reporting vii tai statistics, 16 local areas were set up in Alaska. Palmer and the Matanuska Valley are in the An chorage-Palmer District, which includes the U. $. Commissioners recording districts and Commis- sioners' precincts for Anchorage, Talkeetna, Wasilla, and Palmer.
 Native Problems
 Breakdowns of the population on the basis of race give even more information about where to

growth. Of the 3.5ls births regis tered in Alaska for lss9. the An chorage- Palmer area was eredi- ted with as5. or 28 percent of the total. The birth rate in this area humber of births per 1000 popu- lstionD is most identical with that of the Territory as a whole-27.5.
 More Boys Than Girls
 The birth figures also reveal an excess of male births over female. Perhaps Nature feels that Alaska IS still a mans world In l949, at least. boys outnumbered girls by exactly 200
 These facts gathered from vital statistics records when combined with data by local areas point out the spots where public health work will save the most lives.
 The dramatic conquests of the killers" of youth in the States were made by obtaining the facts for each problem, and then turn ing the health services to work on them says Vital Statistics Director Kester.
 The same can be done for Alaska-with better reporting of births, deaths, and causes of sick ness; peter diagnosis to get the true causes of death: and peter analysis of the facts to direct the public health program in the right direction"
