Zusammenfassung:A study of all deaths in the 20–64 age group in the San Juan Metropolitan Area was carried out for the period of 1 May 1963 to 31 October 1963. The methodology used is reported. Of all deaths 52.7 per cent had an autopsy. The revised figures for CHD deaths still reveal a lower age specific mortality rate in the San Juan Metropolitan Area as compared to the rates reported in the United States. The need of well controlled prospective epidemiological studies in different places of the world is emphasized.
