The purpose of this study is to study the life expectancy in Nagano Prefecture vis-à-vis the whole of Japan while also comparing Saku with the other Nagano cities using the Complete Vital Statistics of 2005.The average life span among male residents was ranked highest among all prefectures of Japan from 1920 to 2005. Statistics for female residents, however, are varied from the 1st to 26 in rank over this same period.The average life expectancy in 81 cities in Nagano was compared and the 10 cities with the longest and shortest spans in rank were plotted onto a prefecture map. The fi ndings are as follows: The cities having the longed life expectancy are located in the center part of Nagano, from north to south for male residents. For females, the longest life spans are found in the center and southern parts of the prefecture. Life expectancy for male residents of Saku city remain in the highest rank among 81 Nagano cities.Female expectancy, ranking 64th out of 81 in 2005, is below the 1995 average.The life expectancies of 0 year-olds, 20 year-olds, and 40 year-olds for Saku females rank in a low position among 81 cities in Nagano: 65th position for 0 year-olds; 52nd for 20 year-olds, and 68th for 40 year-olds.The related factors to length of life expectancy were analyzed. The low ratio of farmers is negatively and high death ratio by cancer is positively related to the short life expectancy for male residents. The same, however, was not observed for females.The death ratio by cancer for females in Saku is higher than the Nagano and Japanese averages.These fi ndings suggest that cancer control programs should be implemented for prolonging women's life expectancy in the Saku area hereafter.
