  • Studies on blood pressure in school children by means of rejection ellipse methods

    The blood pressure of school children was measured during four consecutive years using the rejection ellipse method for analysis of blood pressure. the results obtaind were as follows: 1. The mean, upper limit, and lower limit of rejection ellipses for systolic and diastolicblood pressures of subjects did not increase as grade in school increased. 2. The authors propose that the normal range of the blood pressure for school children is 95 - 135 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 35 - 85 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. 3. For rejection ellipses ten per cent is a more useful level of significance than is fiveper cent.

    With the Keyfitz-Nanjo method an observation was made on the data of Japanese longevity and mortality for the past 25 years from 1950 to 1975 . Prolongations of longevity by mortality decline of selected 12 causes for five quinquenial years were calculated . As an application of the method, estimations of length of life at birth in 1980 and of effects of mortality decline in a specified age group were also made. The results were summerised as follows.(1) The calculated prolongations were close to the observed ones and the results were well conformed to the observed relations of past mortality and longevity in Japan. The method provide a good tool to evaluate the effect of certain death cause to expectation of life.(2) Rapid decline of infectious disease mortalities played a main role on the large prolongation of longevity in 1950's, 65% of total prolongation for male and 59% for female in the period of 1950-1955, but their influences decreased with the mortality decline, 49%, 43% in 1960-1965, and 17%, 33% in 1970-1975 for male and female respectively.(3) Influences of adult diseases were gradually increasing since 1960's with the aging of the population and in the last 5 year period, 1970-1975, cerebrovascular diseases became the largest contributor to the longevity prolongation, 26% for male and 24% for female and influences of 5 adult diseases accounted for 34% and 40% of total prolongation for male and female respectively.4) Influences of remaining causes, senility and external causes varied from time to time reflecting socio-economic conditions in Japan.5) Although estimated life expectancy in 1980 was wide of the mark because Japanese longevity in 1980 was shortened due to unexpected reasons, the method gave reasonable estimates and seemed to be available for estimation of longevity in the near future. Estimation of the effects of mortality decline for age 40-65 would be an useful index in diesease control programme.

    Considering the general influences of the industrial societies towards the daily life of workers and their families in Japan, the observation and analysis of the mortality with industry is important to elucidate the socio-economic factors to death that is the final result of the health status. From a practical viewpoint this is also useful to administrate the health protection and promotion for the workers. The census data and the vital statistics in 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1975 are used to calculate the standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) by industry and by cause of death. The high SMRs of any causes are observed in both male and female of mining and electricity, gas, water and steam industry. Those of malignant tumors in government services and those of suicide in agriculture are considered due to the socio-economic factors. The high SMRs of accidents in primary industry, mining, construction, transport and communication, and electricity, gas, water and steam industry are considered due to primary characteristics of these industries. Mortality analysis from occupational and industrial viewpoints is essential to our society and to be much improved in the near future.
