The urban dwellers show larger upper arm circumference (except for adult male) and larger skinfold thickness than the rural dwllers. Although no difference of blood pressure level is found between both population groups, mare ECG and retinal findzngs are confirmed in rural dwellers especially for female. Notwithstanding no difference in vital capacity is found between both popu, lation groups, one second vital capacity in adult is lower for rural dwellers than for urban. Thiss fact seems to be related to the slow wits of the country people. The value of blood pH for adult is significantly higher in the urban dwellers than in the remote rural dwellers.
