Mortality from External Causes Among Industrial Policy-holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company - 1911-1920 [Discussion]

In this paper, Messrs. Dublin and Kopf have completed their study of mortality from external causes for the ten year period 1911-1920, inclusive. The data are examined in broad divisions: (1) accidents, including unspecified violence, (2) suicides, (3) homicides, and (4) war deaths. Under each group further studies are made; as, for example, in accidents, including unspecified violence, the mortality rate by calendar year according to race and sex is shown and, also, the rate by age group, race and sex. Then follows an examination of accidents in this broad division, according to nature of accident, with various subdivisions to year of accident, age group, race and sex.
