Description
  • Other Cases of sudden death in Kagoshima Prefecture in 2008 were investigated. The total number of the cases was 195(86 males and 109 females) which represents 9.0% of the total unexpected death. A crude mortality rate (per 100,000population) was estimated to be 11.3. The rate was highest during the last three years (2006-2008). As previouslyreported, deaths occurred frequently in the aged group during the winter season, particularly on cold days when the meanair temperature was below 10°C . Further, most of the deaths occurred in the home bath between 4-8 p.m. without alcoholdrinking. Sudden death in the bath may occur often in aged individuals when they are living their daily lives. Protectiveactivities by the government and society should be developed to reduce the number of such unfortunate deaths.
