Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the health practices effected on total mortality for using health-social intervention. The subjects were all the 952 persons who were 60 and over in a village near a big city. Information of 850 (response rate : 89.3 % ) on sex, age, past history, health practices and so on was obtained from a self-administered questionnaire at 1991. Of these, as analysis subject of 747 (335 men and 412 women) except 91 participants who had apoplexy, cancer and heart disease in past history, 133 deceased (71 men and 62 women) within 6 years were compared with survivors. Relative risk (RR)s ,were significantly different between deceased and survivors for smoking (all deceased 6.9 ; p<0.01, cancer 4.3 ; p<0.05, heart disease 20.8 ; p<0.01) among women, for drinking (apoplexy 6.7 ; p<0.01) among women, for not to eat seaweed (apoplexy 2.3 ; p<0.01, heart disease 2.1 ; p<0.05) among men, for eating snack during meals or night (apoplexy 2.3 ; p<0.01, all deceased 1.9 ; p<0.05) among men. Further research must be done to clarify the dynamics of related factors.
