Abstract:
Health priorities in a sample of 1,425 subjects of a defined urban population were studied from data collected routinely in general practice. Analysis of prevalence has shown 1/5 of circulatory diseases, 1/7 of respiratory diseases, 1/8 of musculoskeletal diseases, and 1/10 of mental disorders. According to incidence for the first medical examination, the leading diagnostic categories were diseases of the respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal, digestive, and genitourinary system. Both prevalence and incidence have shown that health priorities in the studied population were diseases of circulatory system, with hypertension, and diseases of the respiratory system, with common cold, of the highest prevalence.
