We surveyed the cause of death and the result of the most recent health exam of workers died from 2007 to 2011 at workplaces receiving healthcare of full-tilne occupational health physicians. Cancers, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and suicides accounted for 49%, 22%, and l2%of the total deaths. Those at the age of 30' sdelnonstrated the highest mortality in suicides among maleworkers. Standardized mortality rates compared to general workers at vital statistics of Japan were ; all causes O.53, cancer O.67, CVDs O.56, suicide O.44, and accidents O.33. Those recorded abnormally high values of BMI, visceral circumference, or blood pressure demonstrated higher mortality from CVDs.
