Abstract

Objective. Prior to settling on a plan for the “A Healthy Hoshuyama Village for the 21st Century” project, our objective should be to review data collection and health care services, to have a firm grasp of the issues involving lung cancer examinations, and to put a plan based on these observations into action. Research Plan (Procedure). Information on the following three items were collected from 1994 to 2001 and the results analyzed. 1: Mortality studies that show the dynamic trends in population change in Hoshuyama Village. 2: Excluding illnesses and ailments, medical treatment statistics of Hoshuyama Village (The amount spent every year in five month periods for medical treatment). 3: The current condition of receiving medical examinations for lung cancer in Hoshuyama Village. Results-Conclusion. With regards to 35% of the elderly population of Hoshuyama Village, at the same time as prevention of cerebrovascular disorders is being actively pursued, lung cancer is increasing among the elderly. It's reasonable to think that the lifestyle of the village has become more urbanized, however, we believe the origin of this increase for persons over the age of 70 may be related to the coal mine located beside the farms and forestry workplaces. And we think that from now on surveying and analyzing hearing examinations will also be necessary. In order to increase the rate of medical examinees, we must obtain the cooperation of the respective groups, administer efficient medical examinations as well as sufficient consultations with the residents, and create a suitable environment for medical examinations.
