Abstract
Tuberculosis at the present time still causes over 20,000 deaths a year in England and Wales and is one of the major medical problems of the day. The mortality of the disease has been considered several. times recently in papers or discussions of the Institute (Pedoe, 1947; Elderton, 1947; Conybeare, 1948), and always it is the mortality by calendar years that has been mentioned or implied. It is the purpose of this note to draw attention to the somewhat different picture obtained when generation mortality rates for tuberculosis are examined.Keywords
