An evaluation of the executive health examination.
During a one-year period 420 middle-aged patients were examined as part of the executive health program at the Palo Alto Clinic. Of these, 30 percent were found to have at least one disease and 20 percent to have at least one laboratory abnormality. It is concluded that such examinations are worthwhile, especially in identifying self-destructive habits and serious emotional illnesses in busy, highly motivated executives.
