This study involves the analysis of the defects and diseases found in about half a million men rejected by the medical examiners of local boards and of two lots of about a million each who were examined at mobilization camps during the physical examinations of the draft in 1917-18. This number constituted about four-fifths of all of the men who were physically examined, and is representative of all. The men examined were of ages 18 to 30 inclusive, but relatively a larger proportion of the male population between the ages of 21 and 30 years is included in these statistics than of those of earlier age.
