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 o£ 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
North Caeolina Bureau of Vital Statistics
9
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.

Year
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.
