title: [Results of health examination by age and sex groups].
abstract: The present study describes the results achieved 6 months after the establishment of a health examination, with different features depending on age and sex groups, which was progressively applied to the population of the C.A.P. "Virgen de la Fuensanta" (Valencia). The preventive activities included: vaccination (rubella, tetanus and influenza), tuberculin skin testing, determination of body weight and mass (BMI), measurement of blood pressure and heart rate, cervical cytology, breast examination and search for occult blood in feces. Among the 388 evaluated individuals (69.4% females and 30.6% males), 10 cases of hypertension, 2 of diabetes, 65 of obesity, 20 of hypercholesterolemia, 23 women with benign breast abnormalities and 8 instances of occult blood in feces were detected. In the age group of 15-26 years, 7 positive tuberculin reactions were detected. In 175 cytological studies no case of malignant disease was discovered. The degree of acceptance of the program by the users was satisfactory, as assessed by the compliance with both the appointments (85%) and the individual interventions (88-100%).
