title: The executive health examination.
abstract: An executive health examination scheme adopted by a large South African company is described. In a large percentage of executives irregularities were discovered on examination. It is questionable whether an extensive procedure is necessary, either as a screening process or as a health education session. These abnormalities could have been detected by simpler procedures. Through follow-up of anomalies found would be of greater benefit to both employer and employee than repeated examination of the whole population.
