    The following table has been prepared covering the last 40 years, in which the percentage of deaths under 45 years of age is worked out in relation to the total deaths of all ages, and in the table the sexes are divided. In 1959, 10-4 per cent, of all deaths occurred under the age of 45. These figures once again constitute a new low record for both sexes.
