 note = {Risk assessment charts are visualized and easy to use in patient education by public health nurses. The aim of our study was to assess the risk factors and for death and lifestyles to construct risk assessment charts for death using the data from a small community. From June 1992, we conducted the JMS cohort study in Wara town, Gifu, Japan. Participants were tested for systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and blood glucose. Information about medical history, food frequency, and lifestyle was obtained by a questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed according to the criteria used in The Framingham Study. All participants were followed up annually during an annual health care check, visits, phone call, and mailings. Risk charts were created based on calculations of the 10-year absolute risk that were associated with all cause death. 
A total of 1,371 participants (615 males and 756 females) were analyzed in this study. Total all-cause death was 356. In males, the physical activity index was associated with all-cause death (Hazard ratio 0.92 95％ CI 0.87-0.97) and showed a tendency towards low mortality in females (HR 0.92 95％ CI 0.82-1.01). In both sexes, the risk of death was lower in participants who frequently consumed citrus fruit（HR for the infrequent intake group versus the normal intake group, and infrequent intake group vs the high intake group: 0.63 95％ CI 0.35-1.14 and 0.23 0.09-0.55 for males, 1.02, 0.51-2.06 and 0.39, 0.19-0.90 for females). 
We constructed risk-assessment charts for death in Wara town on the basis of hazard ratios. 
We used data from the Wara area, a Japanese rural population, to develop risk charts that estimated the 10-year risk for all-cause mortality.},
