[Results of periodic health examinations in an adult population aged 15-60 years].
We report the results of 510 periodical health examinations in adults aged 16-60 years (43% males and 57% females), carried out by the nursing staff in our center (belonging to the PAPPS of the SEMFyC). In the results there was a remarkably high rate of risk factors: 46.6% of obesity, 46% of smokers, 40% of sedentarism, 20% of hyperlipidemia, and 5.1% of hypertension. There was a higher prevalence of smokers among the female population between 15-44 years of age; 6.3% of the surveyed population consumed more than 50 g of alcohol/day, 3.7% had abnormal urine reactive strips and 1.6% had abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. In our experience, the periodical health examination perfectly fits the role of nurses and is well accepted by the population.
