VitalStatistics on the Utirik Peopie
Since a new health aide was not able to locate
medical records covering the past 3 years, vital
statistics on the Utirik people were particularly
difficult to obtain. It appeared that 9 people ofthis
exposed group haddied over the past 2 years. The
causes of death could not be determined. This
makesa total of 24 deaths in the 157 people during the 12-year period since exposure. No major
epidemics of disease were reported. During the
summer of 1964 a numberof children developed
diarrhea, and in about 5 cases bloodystools,fever,
and vomiting were noted. No deaths occurred, and
the cases improved on antibiotic treatment.
