N2  - The average gains in life expectancy and in working life ages for Koreans in Japan and Japanese are examined when 4 selected causes of death are hypothetically eliminated. The life expectancy at birth of Korean males and females in Japan (1974-76) was 67.1 and 77.1 years, respectively. The largest increases in life expectancy at birth for Koreans in Japan and Japanese (both sexes) result when cardiovascular diseases are eliminated. At the working ages (15-65 years) the largest gains result from elimination of malignant neoplasms. Implications for public health services and acculturation of Koreans in Japan are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
