Abstract

This report discusses the use of examinations and rates of positive findings for blood lipids and blood sugar tests in periodical health examination in workplace. The rates of use of examinations for females were higher than those for males in the blood lipid examination of those aged 20-34 years and in the blood sugar examination of those aged 25-39 years. The rates in companies with 50 or more workers were higher than those with 50 less in examinations of blood lipid for those aged 20-29 years in males and 20-24 years in females, and in blood sugar examinations for males aged 20-24 years. Those rates in the transportation industries were the lowest among the 5 industries in workers under 39 years old for the blood lipid examination and blood sugar examination in both sexes. The rates of positive findings for blood lipid level and blood sugar level in males were higher than females, and were higher in companies with less than 50 workers compared with those with 50 or more. By type of industry, the rates of positive findings in the transportation industry were the greatest among the 5 industries tested. Blood examinations for workers less than 40-year-old were not always carried out in the group with high rates of positive findings. It was important that the examination were done selectively in the group with higher rates.
