| Annotation | During the two decades up to 1977, the decreasing excess mortality in winter in England was due largely to the decline in winter epidemics of influenza. The authors describe subsequent reductions in winter mortality from their analysis of the number of deaths of men and women aged 65-74 years in Greater London, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. |
