[Health of medical practitioners observed by the similar method to that of the national health survey of Japan (author's transl)].
Health of medical practitioners in Miyagi Prefecture was surveyed by the similar methodology as that of the National Health Survey in October, 1978. A total of 255 doctors responded. Rates of number of persons with illness and/or injury and of number of sufferings per total number of respondents, and proportions of being ill in bed and of absence from work due to illness among the sufferings, were compared between the medical practitioner and the nationwide sampled population. Doctors claimed the illness more frequently and less number of bed-kept or sick absence conditions was recorded compared to the nationwide sampled population.
