[Evaluation of the effect of health education in adolescents].

In several studies we examined the influence of a short-term (over two hours), medium-term (over one year) and long-term (over three year) health education program in young people in Switzerland. We found, that long-term intervention showed better results, such as in changing the smoking behavior than short-term programs.

[Normogram study: representative data on the state of health of male industrial workers in northern Switerland. III. Physiological and biochemical findings].

To obtain normative data on the health of men aged 20 to 65 years working in the industry of northern Switzerland, a representative study was conducted in 1260 men from 44 plants. The average pulse rate was 75/min and there was no age-related differences. The average blood pressure was 125/73 mm Hg in the 20-25 age group and 148/84 mmHg at age 60-65. An ergometric test (2 watt/kg/6 min) showed that forced vital capacity decreases significantly from 5561 +/- 782 ml in subjects aged 20-24 to 3809 +/- 757 ml in those aged 60-65. Cholesterol levels were 198 +/- 50 mg% (age 20-24), 240 +/- 42 mg% (age 50-54) and 235 +/- 47 mg% (age 60-65). Urine tests showed albumin in 15% and glucose in 4% of samples.
