title: [Evaluation of the health status of industrial plant workers on the basis of periodic examinations].
abstract: The paper was aimed at an analysis of the health status of 239 workers, basing on routine periodic examinations. One of the versions of preventive examinations set up at the Department of Epidemiology and Statistics, Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lódź, was used for the study. The study involved standardized anamneses meant to detect heart ischaemia and chronic unspecific respiratory tract diseases. In addition, it included sets of questions enabling the detection of diabetes mellitus, disturbances of gallbladder and kidneys, and ulcers. The subjective study included the range of standards sets of arbitrarily selected most important syndromes, which simplifies and shortens documents completion. All this is adjusted to electronic data processing. The authoress quotes her findings, discusses methods and duration, considering also organizational difficulties arising from the studies and possibilities to solve them. Moreover, she attempts at verification of a hypothesis assuming a greater usefulness of using the "tool" for periodic examinations, compared to the routine documentation mandatory in occupational health service.
