Among them, 538 (270 males and 268 females), aged 41 years or over, were surveyed in this study. Of that number, 130 (70 male and 60 females) received health examinations from 1983 to 1987 (an average of 2.3 times in 5 years) and their mean age was approximately 70 years. They were compared with those who did not receive health examinations and the relationship between causes of death and health examinations was investigated. There were no significant differences in the age distribution and the causes of death between them. A case-control study (1:1) was also undertaken. The control subjects were selected matching the gender and the age (birth date) from the living subjects who received health examinations. There were significant differences in hypertension and a history of hypertension among patients that died from strokes and their matched pair.}, pages = {17--25}, title = {A study on the relationship between causes of death and community-based health examinations}, volume = {17}, year = {1994} }
