Relation between Age and Frequency of each Grouf of Causes of Rejection for Military Service This graph further illustrates the variation in frequency of each of the major groups of medical conditions which have caused men to be placed in Grade II or lower grades. For example, disorders of the bones and organs of locomotion and cardio-vascular diseases are shown to increase rapidly with advance in age, whereas eye disorders do not show any marked variation over the range of ages covered by the graph. This graph is based on Table 6 above, which gives similar information, though more finely classified as regards causes of rejection.
