Research Abstract	Since arteriosclerotic diseases increased,various changes have occurred in the adult's vascular-endothelium condition. Since the state of the endothelium changed, an intravascular thrombus becomes is easy to be formed. For this reason, the incidence rate of a thrombosis is becoming high. If a thrombus is made in an artery, the symptoms of a myocardial infarction or a cerebral infarction will be shown. A thrombus is made in a deep vein, a traveler thrombosis and a long time recumbency person's deep venous thrombosis will becaused. These venous thrombosises are also increasing. We developed the risk appraisal method of a thrombosis. Moreover, it inquired about prevention of these troubles by life-habit restitution.
