nCube definition


The Registrar General's Decennial Supplements used five different classifications of causes of death over the six decades 1851-1910. Here we present a simplified overall classification developed by Graham Mooney of Johns Hopkins University, as applied to deaths of children under 5, merging ages 2-4. The 'Other' category is inevitably large but the main epidemic diseases are consistently reported.
