In 2019, diabetes was the seventh-leading cause of death in America and claimed more than 87,000 lives, reflecting a long-running failure to address the illness and leaving many more vulnerable . Alternate titles: Fujita Tetsuya, T. Theodore Fujita, Ted Fujita, Tetsuya Theodore Fujita. His speculations on downflowing air drafts inside a severe thunderstorm led Professor Horace Byers, then chairman of the University of Chicago meteorology department, to bring him to Chicago in 1953.

Ranging from F0 to F5, Fujita's system quickly became the standard for accessing tornadoes as Fujita was renowned as an expert in the field with his previous work. Subsequent studies showed conclusively that sudden downdrafts from thunderstorms were indeed a previously unappreciated aviation hazard, a finding that led to installation of special Doppler radars at major commercial airports to improve safety. 105 (2), p. 129-146 [submitted June 1976, published February 1977], Folder 57, "Downburst in Safety Needs in the Terminal Environment," in Proceedings of the Thirtieth Annual International Air Safety Seminar, Ottawa: Flight Safety Foundation, Inc., Arlington, p. 184-188 [presented September 1977], Folder 58, "Regionalization of the Tornado Hzard," by Abbey, Robert F., Jr., and Fujita, T.

Background: Mortality studies can show the relative contribution of diabetes to mortality in the total population, and they can provide important descriptions of the changes in causes and frequency of diabetes mortality over time.
