Abstract: Comparative studies of health conditions and medical problems involving various nations and cultures may cast light on a frequently complex and difficult scientific problem and, at the same time, have highly practical significance for the populations involved. Examples include large scale multinational research probjects on nutrition and heart disease and international comparisons of cancer epidemiology. These projects have made important theoretical and applied contributions and promise still more exciting results in the future. Among the more fascinating parts of the world where participation in comparative research of this kind would have great potential is the People's Republic of China (PRC) and such collaboration seems to be increasingly possible.
