Notes: Infectious diseases, such as diptheria, scarlet fever, and whooping cough reached epidemic proportions due to lack of vaccines and lowered resistance to the diseases. Tuberculosis, scabies and impetigo increasded in latter years due to the lack of healthy diet and living conditions. There was however a decrease in heart conditions and high blood pressure, which was certainly as a result of less fat, and an increased roughage in the diet.
Dental caries was considerably reduced.(natural diet and absence of sweets)
