A @entity1 is believed to choose a health related behavioral alternative based on his/her perception of the health risk. This survey tried to clarify the structure of perceptions relating to risk of @entity204 , which seems to be the most fundamental among various health risks. A survey was performed in 1995 on 350 employees of two major companies. Subjects were shown two paired causes of @entity204 and asked which diseases caused @entity204 more frequently in the Japanese. Diseases included @entity5 , cerebral apoplexy, @entity299 , @entity64 , @entity378 , and @entity2 . The results obtained were as follows: 1. Generally, the order of perceived risk for each cause of @entity204 was similar to the real @entity204 numbers. 2. While traffic accidents tended to be overestimated for its risk, the risk perception for @entity299 and @entity5 tended to be underestimated. 3. Young @entity1 tended to overestimate the risk of traffic accidents more than older @entity1 . Based on these results, it is suggested that @entity1 tend to overestimate current risks, and to underestimate future risks. This may contribute to the improvement of risk communication between health care providers and residents/ @entity1 .
