During the last 25 years a remarkable change has occurred in the ranking of the causes of death in Japan. In particular, stroke, the leading cause of death in Japan for a long period of time, has been declining from its peak in 1965. Although ischemic heart disease increased about fourfold, it is not yet as prominent as stroke. One reason for these changes may be that the average life span of Japanese men in 1975 was 71.8 years, 12 years longer than in 1950. This trend of mortality rate for stroke compelled attention to changes in dietary habits. This article deals in detail with these Japanese trends.
在过去25年里，日本的死因排名发生了显著变化。特别是，长期以来一直是日本头号死因的中风，自1965年达到峰值后一直在下降。虽然缺血性心脏病增加了约四倍，但仍不如中风突出。这些变化的一个原因可能是，1975年日本男性的平均寿命为71.8岁，比1950年延长了12岁。中风死亡率的这种趋势促使人们关注饮食习惯的变化。本文详细探讨了日本的这些趋势。
