抄録

On the same four districts as in the first report, an analysis of the causes of death classified in 17 main sections (defined by WHO in 1957) has been made. The tabulated data are as follows : ranking of the leading causes of death, cause-specific death rates, cause-specific distribution of the deaths lumped every four years and age specific distribution of deaths by sexes . Furthermore, annual cause-specific distribution of deaths and agespecific distribution of deaths from the main causes are shown in graphs. These data have shown: 1) In each district the ranking of causes of death showed the typical farm village type up to 1940 before the War, particularly in Yogo-mura, but this type has gradually shifted to the standard one of Japan recently. 2) The causes of death the rate of which is decreasing are shown in Sections I, VIII, IX, X and XV. 3) VI is a section which shows the increasing distribution of deaths against the decreasing rate of death, excepting Eigenji-cho. 4) The causes of death the rate of which is increasing are shown in Sections II, VII and XVII, excepting Kutsuki-mura in II. 5) Each district hsa its own type in cause-specific and age-specific distributions of deaths in relation to its social environments and geographical conditions.
