Correlation coefficients were calculated between national average supplies of 10 foodstuff groups and corrected death rate for 30-69 age group from cerebrovascular lesions and arteriosclerotic heart disease, among 20 Western countries.
Results follow:
1. No significant correlation of the corrected death rates is found between cerebrovascular lesions and arteriosclerotic heart disease.
2. There are high correlation between male and female in both corrected death rates for cerebrovascular lesions and for arteriosclerotic heart disease.
3. There are some correlations among foodstuff groups by nations, for instance, sugar and syrups-meat-milk (positive correlation), and cereals-meat (negative correlation).
4. Nations which consume more cereals and less fats and oils tend to have a high mortality from cerebrovascular lesions.
5. Nations which consume less potatoes and other starchy roots, more sugar and syrups and probably more meat, eggs and milk tend to have a high mortality for arteriosclerotic heart disease.
These results are discussed on the data of peculiar condition in Japan.
