alncludes stillbirths and neonatal deaths.
>Includes nonexposed females married to exposed males.
The occurrence of 4 miscarriages or stillbirths in
each of the two groups also conforms with the
incidence in recent years, the exposed women
showing no greater incidence than the unexposed
women.
Utirik
Vital statistics over the 3-year period for the
population at Utirik were not reliable since the
Health Aide had ieft the island the previous year
and taken the records. Apparently no unusual
epidemics occurred amongtheisland people, and

127 are now living. In addition some 100 Uutrik
people live on the island who were not exposed to

people now live on Ebeye and Majuro(see Table
3). Seven births were reported for the 3 years but
probably more had occurred. The generai health
status of the Utirik people and the sanitary conditions of the island appeared to be about the same
as 3 years before.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS - CHILDREN
