title: [The Bavarian Health Survey--goals and selected results].
abstract: The Bavarian Health Survey (1998/99) is a new element in the Bavarian health reporting system. It was conducted in close connection with the German Health Survey as a combination of a questionnaire and health examination survey with participation of the Bavarian local health offices. Based on a random sample of more than 1,800 persons aged 18 to 79 years, life-prevalence data on diseases of the metabolic system, selected laboratory results and obesity are reported.
