The authors carried out mass health screening on 205 persons to obtain the epidemiologic keynote of S town, no doctor area in Hokkaido, where high standardized mortality rate based on heart diseases was observed. In view of the findings, following summary was obtained. 1) In the subjects examined, about 30 percent in each of the male and female showed hypertensive sign. 2) Various lipid ingredients in the blood of the female with hypertension showed significant high level individually, and then it was supposed that they played some important roles in the high standardized mortality rate based on heart deseases. 3) Hyperlipoidemia of the male with hypertension was not so severe as that of the female, and then it was assumed that hypertension in the male played in itself as an accelerative factor contributing to the high standardized mortality rate based on heart diseases. 4) Differences in volume of blood lipid ingredients between the male and the female were recognized in spite of the fact that the physical check-up was conducted in the same district. We pressumed that this discrepancy in blood lipids was resulted from several factors, such as improvement in quality of diet, increase of caloric intake. 5) On account of the management of hypertensive or subhypertensive patients, it could be effective to put the matters mentioned below into practice not only measurement of blood pressure but also prevention of fatness, control of blood lipids, and examinations by electrocardiography and cardiosonography. 6) Urinary NAG activity indicated high level in the male with hypertension, but obvious mechanisms are unclear and remained in feature.
