Abstract
Analysis of complaints, diseases under treatments and life habits of the workers of an IT company were carried out from the interview sheets at their regular medical examinations September 2004. All health data were divided into males and females, and were arranged in the order of their ages. The incidences of each complaint, disease under treatment and life habit were counted separately into four groups; males below 35 years of ages (male young adults), males over 35 years of ages (male elderly adults), females under 35 years of ages (female young adults) and females over 35 years of ages (female elderly adults) . Thirty six% of male young adults, 41% of male aged adults, 11% of female young adults and 22% of female eldeerly adults were found to have no complaints. That is, 36-41% of male were healthy but only 11-22% of female were found to be healthy. Ones who had complaints had plural complaints at the same time; averages 2.8-5.4. Stiff shoulder was the most prevalent complaint; 35% of males and 67% of females were found to have this complaint. Lumbago was the second prevalent complaint; 20% of males and 30-45% of females were found to have this complaint. High incidences of palpitation, short breath and pectoralgia were thought to be due to aging, but higher incidences of these complaints in male young adults than male elderly adults were thought not to be due to physical but to psychological dependences.
Five to six % of young adults and 10-18% of elderly adults were found to have diseases under treatments. Thirty-two % of male young adults, 36% of male elderly adults, 22% of female young adults and 17% of female elderly adults were found to smoke. About 50% of male and female young adults were found to drink, and 77% of male elderly adults and 33% of female elderly adults were found to drink. The female young adults were found to be equally liberated for drinking as male young adults. Only 5% of all four groups were found to do physical exercises regularly. Ninety-five % of young adults and 90% of elderly adults were found not to have enough sleep.
Only 39% of male young adults were found to have breakfast. Over 50% of male elderly adults and females were found to have breakfast. Only 20% of male young adults were found to have three meals a day. Forty-nine% of male elderly adults, 44% of female young adults and 33% of female elderly adults were found to have three meals a day. Workers in this company seemed to eat pool food generally.
