[Results of systematic screening of women in the village of Stepanovićevo].
In the framework of the "Integrated program for the prevention and control of uncommunicable diseases (CINDI) which has been launched in the collaboration with the World Health Organization at the Health Centre "Novi Sad", a total of 400 women aged 16-60 have been comprised by the mass screening in the village of Stepanovićevo with 2083 inhabitants who are mainly agricultural workers out of whom women account for 48.41%. This paper is aimed at gaining an insight into the kind and frequency of individual gynecologic diseases and circumstances which influence the psychophysical state of the woman, her working and reproductive capability in the rural environment, the parity, number of abortions, the use of contraceptive devices and the differences in morbidity between the village of Stepanovićevo and the city of Novi Sad. According to the results obtained it is pointed out that the percent of women affected by the following diseases has been considerably increased: pathologic changes on the cervix uteri, inflammatory diseases on adnexes, myoma uteri and benign changes in the breast. This high percent could be explained by the absence of the gynecologic service in the village of Stepanovićevo and women's ignorance of health culture for temporary check-ups.
