Abstract
The peculiar gradient of the mortality rate distribution in the respective countries is interpreted by physicochemical factors of natural environment such as climate, geology and character of water, and the socioeconomic factors such as urban-rural residency, status of agriculture and industrialization, and local dietary habits. As a result, the effect of calcium and vitamin deficiencies is epidemiologically suggested for the development of cerebro-vascular disease.
