Outline of Annual Research Achievements	Research has been fully completed. Manuscript has been written and submitted to the Journal "Environmental Health Perspectives" with an impact factor of 7.98. As of 18 April 2016, the status of submission of manuscript is "under review" of journal. The current study descriptively analysed national mortality data with regard to their availability and referability for extrapolation, and extrapolated the referable data to estimate the global burden of mesothelioma deaths. Title of manuscript has been changed, however, the content of research has not digressed drastically from the initial research proposal. Detail will be provided in the form 19-1. We started new research on estimating the global future prediction of mesothelioma based on the current study and birth cohort model.
