The author made studies on the epidemiological aspect of ancylostomiasis in Japan based on data for a period from 1950 to 1954 (they included some of the figures for 1955), using deaths from it as the index of its prevalence. The results are summarized as follows: (1) The number of annual deaths from ancylostomiasis, Which showed a sudden increase following the termination of Pacific War, has recently shown a tendency to decrease. It is, however, still greater than in years before the war. (2) The ancylostomiasis death rate (the number of deaths in total population) rises with age in both men and women. It is markedly high amongwomenthanamongmen; ancylostomiasis death rates among matured women are almost twice as high as among corresponding, age groups in men. There are marked differences in ancylostomiasis death rates by year and locality of men and women. (3) The geographical distribution of ancylostomiasis death rates shows that they are low in Hokkaido and Tohoku Districts and high in Kyushu and Chugoku Districts, and that they are low in urban communities and high in rural communities. (4) Analysis of death rates among various professional groups shows that the death rate among farmers is higher than among any other professional groups. The ratio of ancylostomiasis deaths to total deaths in the population is also higher among farmers than among any other professional groups.
