Abstract
Results of annual health examination (2006) of the workers in a drug store chain were evaluated. This company has own health evaluation system. But these results were re-evaluated by the standard evaluation system by Japan Society of Ningen Dock for comparing results from various companies. Tests examined for ones over 35 years of age were different from those for ones below 35 years of age. Ones who had unhealthy results were 7% for men and women below 35 years of age, 76.5% of men over 35 years of age, and 63.2% for women over 35 years of age. Among these, ones who had newly found unhealthy results to visit doctors were 1.6% for men below 35 years of age, 0% for women below 35 years of age, 43% for men over 35 years of age, and 36.8% for women over 35 years of age. These results were almost similar for workers of a food processing company and about twice higher than those for workers of an IT company where the author works as a part-time health control doctor. Age dependent changes of average test data for each examination were also calculated and physical meanings of these changes were discussed.
