LETTEE OF TRANSMITTAL

Raleigh, IST. C, November 17, 1932.

To His Excellency, O. Max Gardner, Governor of North Carolina, Raleigh.

My dear Sir:

I have the honor of transmitting the report for the Bureau of Vital Statistics covering the calendar year, 1931. With assurance of my very great respect, I am Very sincerely,

James M. Parrott, p/e Secretary and State Health Officer.

IJ^TRODUCTION

The Bureau of Vital Statistics was created by an Act of tlie General Assembly of 1913 wbich made the State Board of Health the custodian of all records of births and deaths, and the Secretary of the State Board of Health, by virtue of his office. State Registrar of Vital Statistics. The law went into force on July 1, 1913, but the collection of birth and death records did not start until the following October.

The first annual report published by the Bureau of Vital Statistics related to 1914. Reports have been published for every year since, with the exceptions of 1918 and 1919, although the 1920 and 1921 reports consisted of only a few tables in the Health Bulletin.

]^orth Carolina was admitted to the U. S. Registration Area for deaths in 1916 and for births in 1917. The Registration Area, now comprising 47 states, is made up of those states in which presumably 90% of the births or deaths are registered with the Bureau of Vital Statistics, with satisfactory completeness regarding certain collateral information deemed pertinent.

In the present report the abridged International List of Causes of Death has been used where deaths are given by counties and cities, in preference to the complete list used in former reports. The complete International List of Causes of Death has been used where information has been tabulated for the State as a whole. It is believed that this change is justified in that it makes the information more readily avail- able and still loses nothing in the degree of completeness looked for in published reports of this nature. Any one desiring more detailed in- formation regarding any item can secure it by inquiry to the Bureau. Tables have been combined, condensed or omitted when it was thought advisable, and a few entirely new ones added. In this way much repeti- tion has been avoided and the size of the volume diminished.

Statistics of Births

The total number of births reported in 1931 in North Carolina was 74,743 in an estimated population of 3,217,000. This gives a birth rate of 23.2 per 1,000 population. The total number of stillbirths was 3,646 with a ratio of 4.8 per 100 live births.

The birth rate in this State has declined from 31.2 in 1914 to a low of 23.2 for the present year, with a high of 33.4 for the year 1921.

Figure I shows the birth rate per 1,000 population for the past 18 years. Especially to be noted is the rapid decline since 1924. This decline has been paralleled by similar decreases in birth rates through- out the United States.

Mortality Statistics

In the compilation mortality statistics it is necessary to depend upon physicians for the statements of causes of death. Needless to say the accuracy of statistics can be no greater than that of the material upon which it is based. Every year it is necessary to query hundreds of certificates as to causes of death in order to classify them correctly. We are duly appreciative of the prompt and courteous replies given by most physicians when asked to give a more specific statement as to cause of death.

The health record of l^orth Carolina for 1931, as indicated by the death rate, has improved over previous years. The 33,069 deaths, ex- clusive of 3,388 stillbirths, reported for 1931 represents an annual death rate of 10.2 per 1,000 estimated population, the lowest death rate ever recorded in North Carolina. The official rate for 1926 was 12.1; for 1927, 11.3; for 1928, 12.3; for 1929, 12.4; and for 1930, 11.2. Con- sidered in terms of total deaths, the deaths reported for 1931 are 3,064 fewer than in 1928, 3,825 fewer than in 1929 and 2,670 fewer than in 1930. Our death rate compares favorably with the death rates of other

states. The low rate is especially noteworthy when it is considered that 29.4 per cent of our population is colored, this group usually running a higher death rate than that prevailing among a white population. The 29.4 per cent of our population which is colored accounted for 38.7 per cent of all deaths in 1931.

Figure II shows the death rates from all causes by years since 1914. It is seen from this figure that for every year prior to 1921 the death rate was higher than it has been in any year since that date, with the exception of 1914 which was equaled in 1929. The year 1914 being the first year for which records were kept it is probable that the low rate in that year is accounted for by incomplete reporting. The high rate of 1918 is due, of course, to the influenza epidemic of that year. Also this epidemic probably explains, in part, the low rates in the years immed- iately following 1918 as due to the early carrying off of people with influenza in 1918 who would, under other conditions, have died of other causes in subsequent years. With the exception of the years 1924 and 1928, the death rate for North Carolina has been lower than the rate for the registration area.

The following tabulation shows, for the State as a whole, the deaths in 1931, classified according to sex, and color of decedent:

The 33,069 deaths in the State in 1931 were distributed between the nd between the racial groups as follows : Males 52 per cent ; females 48 per cent; white 60.8 per cent; colored 38,7 per cent; Indian 0.5 per cent.

Mortality from the principal causes of deaths in North Carolina show many changes in the last fifteen years. The rates for the infectious diseases have been lowered and that for the chronic degenerative dis- eases have increased. Tuberculosis has fallen from first place in 1916 to sixth in 1931. Heart disease has advanced from fourth to first place in the same period. Tuberculosis in 1916 caused considerably more deaths than all forms of pneumonia, the disease causing the second greatest number of deaths. The 1931 rate for tuberculosis was 71.4 per 100,000 population, which is less than half of the rate in 1916, 144.6. Nephritis has advanced from seventh place in 1916 to second in 1931. The rate for violent deaths (suicide excepted) has increased from 59.6 per 100,000 population in 1916 to 71.1 in 1931. This in- crease has been due largely to automobile accidents. The greatest im- provement in mortality is shown in the lowered rate for diarrhea and enteritis, in which there was a decrease from a rate of 91.9 in 1916 to 24.4 in 1931. Heart disease, nephritis, cerebral hemorrhage, embolism, thrombosis and cancer accounted for 6,723 deaths in 1916 and for 11,518 deaths in 1931, or over one-third of all deaths for 1931.

The 1931 mortality record shows a decline in total deaths over 1930; a marked decline in deaths under one year, deaths from tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, diarrhea and enteritis under two years of age, and pellagra. Fewer deaths were reported from tuberculosis, diphtheria, diarrhea and enteritis under two years of age, and infant deaths in 1931 than ever before. With the exception of 1930 we have never recorded so few deaths from typhoid fever.

Year

The death rates for six important causes of death for each year dur- ing the period 1914 to 1931 are shown in Figure III. All causes of death shown in this figure have a lower rate for 1931 than for 1930. When comparisons of the rates for the first few years are made with those of the last few years on this figure rather pronounced decreases' are shown for tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid fever and diarrhea and enteritis in children under two years of age. On the other hand, in-\ creases are in evidence for heart diseases, nephritis, and cancer which are not shown in the figure.

There were 155 deaths from typhoid fever in 1931, three more than in 1930. The trend in typhoid fever death rates has been consistently downward since 1914. In that year the rate was 35.5 per 100,000 population. The 1931 rate was 4.9, the lowest recorded to date.

12 Annual Eepoet, ISTineteen Thirty-One

Kegarding pellagra, the highest death rate ever recorded from this disease in North Carolina occurred in 1930 when 1,015 deaths were reported as due to this cause. This is a rate of 31.8 per 100,000. In 1931 the rate was 21.6, representing 696 deaths from pellagra and this rate is materially less than that recorded in any of the past five years.

The greatest improvement in the trend of mortality in the communi- cable diseases is shown for diphtherial In the three years 1914, 1915 and 1916 diphtheria caused 1,314 deaths. This is compared with the 829 deaths from diphtheria reported in 1929, 1930 and 1931. Diph- theria is a disease for which we have a specific protective vaccination and is, therefore, a disease against which public health activities can be very eJBfective, It is to be noted that approximately five-sixths of the deaths from diphtheria occur in children under five years of age. This points out the group in which prophylactic measures can most profitably be applied.

Infants under one year, comprising approximately 2,4 per cent of the population, suffered 16.5 per cent of the total deaths. However, the death rate per thousand reported live births was 73 in 1931, which is the lowest recorded rate in the 18 years of registration. It is a matter of satisfaction that the trend in mortality in this group is downward, though it is still far above what it should be. Evein with this great improvement in the infant mortality rate, it is higher than that of the United States registration area as a whole. The 1931 rate for the 46 registration states, according to the provisional report of the United States Census Bureau, is 61,7.

The rates given in this report are crude rates, in the calculation of which no allowance is made for differences in the sex, age and color distribution of the population. Deaths are recorded as from the place of death, regardless of normal place of residence of the decedent, and in calculating the death rate of any county or city, the non-resident deaths are included. Counties and cities which are medical centers may show an unusually high birth or death rate due to these non-resi- dent births or deaths. These factors must be taken into consideration when rates of different localities are compared. Tor the State as a whole, 90% of the deaths are believed to be reported. For any single area this percentage may be above or below that figure, and this degree of completeness of reporting deaths should also be borne in mind when comparing two areas.

Vital Statistics are of practical value to every citizen of the State. Birth and death records have a wide variety of uses which are of great importance to individuals. For health organizations, accurate certifi- cates are essential if our true problems are to be known, if our pro-

K^OETH CaEOLIIS'A BuREAU OF VlTAL STATISTICS 13

grams are to be intelligently planned, if we are to ascertain the effec- tiveness of procedure, and if errors in our work are to be detected. In- complete records may lead to costly mistakes. It is, therefore, incum- bent upon every good citizen of North Carolina to do whatever possible to promote the completeness of our birth and death records.
