Abstract:
A cohort study on risk factors for all strokes and heart diseases was conducted among residents of 30-69years old in Kamo, a farming and fishing village, Shizuoka Prefecture. A study cohort (588 men and 938 women) was assembled in 1965 and followed up to 1985, for about 20 years. All dropouts by deaths from all strokes and heart diseases were checked by death certificates during these periods. The mortality rate and relative risks of death from all strokes and heart diseases were calculated, especially of those aged 50-69. The major results obtained were as the followings.
1: The death rates of all strokes and heart diseases were higher in the advanced age (from 50 to 69 years) than in the middle age (from 30 to 49 years). Sex differences were not observable in statistically.
2: The analysis of the significant risk factors revealed that systolic and diastolic hypertension, hypertensive and sclerotic changes indicated by fundscopic findings, auricular fibrillations on e. c. g, . fatness, ex-smoker, ex-drinker and having no-occupation were important for all strokes.
For the death of heart diseases, systolic hypertension, alubuminuria, Q-waves, ST-T changes on e. c. g. and smoking less than 19 cigaretts daily were regarded as significant risk factors.
