The structure of the population of Japan has been rapidly changing and the proportion of old people against the total population has been increasing. Such a change in the population has affected both the pattern of diseases and the mortality patterns. Although the mortality patterns are usually analyzed by sex, age, or age group, we analyzed them using Proportional Mortality Indicator or PMI which was introduced by Drs. Swaroop, S. and Uemura, K. in WHO (1957). This indicator is a very simple one, but is useful as a health parameter, because we can see the helth status of the observed population without knowing its structure. The purpose of this study is to observe the trends of mortality patterns of the main causes of deaths besides all causes of deaths in Japan using PMI and to consider the background circumstances or causes of its change.
