Life tables were constructed based on all deaths in Hawaii occurring between 1968–1972 for Caucasians, Filipinos and Japanese. Gains in life expectancies to be attained if coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) were eliminated were presented by sex and ethnic group. The expectation of life at birth for both males and females is greatest for Japanese, followed by Filipinos and then Caucasians. The gain in life expectancy by eliminating CHD would most benefit Caucasians while Filipinos would benefit the most from the elimination of CVA. For all ethnic groups and both sexes, the gain in expectation of life due to the elimination of CHD is more than were CVA eliminated as a cause of death.
