Abstract

Following the Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination, the authors review the chief preventable pathology and outline norms for the nature and frequency of preventive procedures. They propose a systematic program of prevention and screening of the adult. In order to accomplish this, the initial evaluation of the patient must include the search for risk factors and these are included in the problem list. Finally, tables provide simple and efficient modes of applying this program, which also constitutes a useful research tool.
