Studies on cardiovascular mortality in Japan, U. S. A. and England & Wales for the years around 1950, 1955 and 1960 were previously presented. Presently, similar analytical studies of the vital records were done for the 4 Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, for the years 1951, 1955, and 1960. Four selected causes of death for the study are "vascular lesions affecting the central nervous system, " "chronic rheumatic heart disease, " "arteriosclerotic and degenerative heart disease" and " other diseases of heart". (Seventh Revision of the International List of Diseases and Causes of Death) 1. Among those countries Finland tends to have the highest death rates in all forms studied except "chronic rheumatic heart disease." 2. Norway tends to have the lowest mortality rate in most forms of the cardiovascular diseases studied, yet the death rates for " chronic rheumatic heart disease" is the highest for this population. The mortality trends in the 10 years course for "vascular lesions affecting the central nervous system" tends to show increasing tendency in this country alone. 3. Denmark also appears to have lower death rates, although the death rates for "other diseases of heart " is relatively high. 4. In the 10 years course, tendency for decrease in deaths due to cardiac causes in younger age groups under 30-40 years of age and for " vascular lesions affecting the central nervous system" for the age groups over 30-40 years of age are observed in general according to age-specific death rates. Death rates for the selected cardiovascular diseases among the four countries were comparable with the age-sex-adjusted death rates, and also with that of Japanese population by index forms.
