Table 23 gives a comparison, according to age, between the rates
of mortality of Sweden on one hand, and those of Western Europe,
France, and England on the other. It is very evident that our
position in every case is the most favourable during the first years of life,
but not, by any means, exclusively in these. In the group, 0/5 years,
the mortality in Sweden is 41 % lower than in Western Europe, 34 %
lower than in France, and 31 % lower than in England. If we regard
the first year of life alone, the difference becomes generally still more
favourable to us.
Our position is, on the other hand, less favourable for the
