Life tables were constructed based on all deaths in Hawaii occurring between 1968-1972 for Caucasians, Filipinos and Japanese. Gains in life expectancies to be attained if coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) were eliminated were presented by sex and ethnic group. The expectation of life at birth for both males and females is greatest for Japanese, followed by Filipinos and then Caucasians. The gain in life expectancy by eliminating CHD would not benefit Caucasians while Filipinos would benefit the most from the elimination of CVA. For all ethnic groups and both sexes, the gain in expectation of life due to the elimination of CHD is more than were CVA eliminated as a cause of death.
生命表是根据1968年至1972年间夏威夷白人、菲律宾人和日本人的所有死亡数据构建的。按性别和种族群体列出了如果消除冠心病（CHD）和脑血管意外（CVA）预期寿命所能达到的增长情况。出生时男性和女性的预期寿命对日本人来说最长，其次是菲律宾人，然后是白人。消除冠心病对白人的预期寿命增长没有益处，而菲律宾人将从消除CVA中受益最多。对于所有种族群体和男女两性，消除冠心病导致的预期寿命增长比消除CVA作为死亡原因导致的预期寿命增长更多。
