R. M. Worth: Article Analysis
In the study posted in the American Journal of Epidemiology, by R. M. Worth, who is affiliated with the University of Hawaii School of Public Health, Biomedical Sciences Building, 1960 East-West Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822; H. Kato who is affiliated with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission and Japanese National Institute of Health, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan; G. G. Rhoads and A. Kagan, who is affiliated with the Honolulu Heart Study, National Heart and Lung Institute, and National Institutes of Health; and S. L. Syme, who is affiliated with the Department of Epidemiology, University of California School of Public Health, Berkeley, observes the epidemiologic studies of stroke and coronary heart disease of Japanese men currently residing

M. Worth, H. Kato, G. G. Rhoads, A. Kagan, and S. L. Syme, were trying to discover whether or not, if there were any reliable differences regarding the mortality rates from the causes of stroke or coronary heart disease (CHD) between Japanese American men that reside in Honolulu and San Francisco or Japanese men that reside in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. According to the study, the stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD) and total mortality were assessed from death certificates of Japanese men whose ages ranged from 45-64 years old that resided in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the time period of 1965-1970, Honolulu during the time period of 1966-1970, and the San Francisco area during the time period of 1968-1972. The study examines the authentication of the fundamental causes of death by studying the death certificates of males who lived in Japan and Hawaii to determine what the statistics were, regarding the number of Japanese American males who died aged 45-64 years old. The study also examines the estimated error in death certification of coronary heart disease and stroke in Japan and Hawaii to monitor the detection rate and confirmation rate of Japanese American males who died from a stroke or a chronic health …show more content…
However, it is constant with reports that have shown that wider age groups and males and female are all being utilized. Another one of the limitations involved in the study is how the researchers disregarded how serum cholesterol and glucose intolerance levels are related to thrombotic strokes. There may be an unknown environmental factor concerning those who had fatal strokes in Japan due to the major public health importance because even though the average amount of men who had serum cholesterol and whose glucose intolerance is the same of Japanese men who were residing in their native country, the average level of men who have serum cholesterol and whose glucose intolerance is greater in Japanese American men. Therefore, the amount of men who died of a stroke was lower if they decided not to migrate from Japan versus if they did migrate from Japan to Hawaii or
