We built the system to collect and standardize the data of health checkup of residents of municipalities in Chiba prefecture. We asked all medical laboratories to participate in the same external quality control, and the standardization of measurements with the same standard material was executed. For the judgment of abnormalities of data, the circulatory organs judgment division table of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare was used. We collected data from 22 municipalities through 2002 to 2006.There were 366,862 (111,877 men, 254,985 women) data collected from 22 municipalities for five years in total. We noticed that there were significant sex and age differences in the data of health check-up. In men, the risks of cardiovascular disease as BMI, T-Chol & TG were the highest for those 40-49 years of age and decreased gradually with age. The mean HDL-Chol of men was 55mg/dL for all age groups and lower than that of women. SBP & BS were higher for all age groups of men compared with women. In women, BMI, T-Chol & TG were significantly low before menopause and rapidly increased with age after menopause to overtake those of men at the age of 70 years. The mean HDL-Chol of women was 65-70mg/dL for those 35-59 years of age and gradually decreased. BMI, SBP, TG and BS became almost same between men and women at the age of 70 years.
It may be indispensable to consider sex and age differences of health check-up data for the better health education.
