Synopsis
Excerpt from Vital and Monetary Losses Due to Preventable Deaths
The purpose of 'this paper is to set forth the results of a statistical investigation of the vital and monetary losses in this country due to the occurrence of preventable deaths; to show (a) to what extent the average length of human life is affected by the occurrence of such deaths; (b) the effect on the expectation of life, or average future life time, at any age; (0) the effect on the death rate, at any age; (d) how great a monetary loss is sustained through such a death, assum ing that the life of every person has a value, or that during the most productive period of his life - say from the age of twenty to seventy years - every person contributes some thing annually to the wealth of the community in which he lives; and (e) the total value of these losses, estimated for each age for both males and females, for the whole country.
We have obtained the results set forth in this paper through the comparison of mortality tables which we have constructed and which are based upon the different sets of conditions and hypotheses that are to be introduced and discussed; and a familiarity with what is involved in a mortality table and the expectation of life is so essential to the complete under standing of what follows that we shall now explain briefly what these terms imply.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed investigation into the devastating human and financial toll preventable deaths exact on society. Comprehensively examining mortality statistics from the United States, the author meticulously compares two sets of mortality tables. One table is based on actual deaths, and the other assumes unnecessary deaths have been eliminated. By analyzing the differences between the tables, the author reveals the staggering number of lives lost and the substantial economic losses incurred due to premature deaths from preventable causes. The book delves into the ethical implications of these findings, advocating for a renewed focus on preventing unnecessary deaths and improving overall health conditions.
