To determine the influence of family medical history on mortality from cancer and other chronic diseases,participants in the JACC study were questioned about tuberculosis, apoplexy, hypertension, heart disease, diabetesmellitus and malignant diseases and followed up.

No consistentfindings were obtained for hypertension, diabetes mellitus or cancer.
