The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's vital statistics include data on the cause of death by prefecture. Although this is rather negative information, many causes of death have to do with lifestyle in various areas.

Of the three major causes of death, cancer, cardiac disorder and cerebrovascular disease, men's cancer has been picked up here. The distribution map shows that there are many deaths due to cancer in "both ends" of Japan, such as Kyushu, Shikoku, the Tohoku area and Hokkaido. On the other hand, there are fewer deaths due to cancer in areas from around Tokyo to Kansai.

Because there are many types of cancer and there are lifestyle habits (such as smoking, high-salt diets, etc) associated with each type, data on the individual types of cancer will also be examined.
