In order to create a database for developing an appropriate health policy for aged people in Korea, particularly for those living in rural farming communities, the present study compared health status and disease pattern among aged Koreans residing in Korean farming villages and the descendants of Koreans who migrated to China more than one hundred years age. The subjects in this study were 467 Koreans in 10 Korean farming villages northeast of Seoul and 223 Korean migrants in 2 villages in the Korean Autonomous Region in northeast China. All of them were 60 years old or over in age . The same investigation team interviewed the subjects of both groups in July 1995. In addition, clinical examination was conducted in order to determine the prevalence of three diseases: diabetes mellitus, hypertension and anemia. The results were compared between the two groups . The interview survey revealed that the prevalence of the disorders during the 2 weeks prior to the investigation was higher among both male and female subjects of Korean migrants. A comparison of the disease pattern showed higher incidences of cancer, accidental injuries and poisoning due to agricultural chemicals among Koreans of rural farming villages, whereas cerebrovascular disorders and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases were more common among Korean migrants . Clinical examination demonstrated a higher prevalences of diabetes among villagers in Korea whereas the prevalences of hypertension and anemia were higher among Korean migrants. In rural Korea, the diseases related to life style, were not common. On the other hand, diseases such as hypertension and anemia, which were related to malnutrition, low income, and bad hygiene, were still prevalent among Korean migrants but rarely occur among Korean villagers.
