Sažetak
Because of 10.94% frequency in obese recruits in Rijeka in 2005 occupational medicine decided to study causality of
that and other most frequent diagnoses: pedes plani, myopia and astigmatism, kyphosis and scoliosis, asthma, hypertension
and branch block. Double monitoring of 1,311 recruits was carried out by a transversal study during 2005, 2000
and 1995 and within each year according to location: city, suburbs, islands. The differences in the three periods in the
city were obesity (p<0.05) with highest frequency in 2005, asthenia (p<0.05) with lowest frequency 0.99% in 2005, and
pedes plani (p<0.05) with highest frequency in 1995. Suburbs showed (p<0.05) for pedes plani, p=0.054 for obesity, and
the islands obesity (p<0.05). Myopia and astigmatism frequency went up to 25%, kyphosis to 14.13% and asthma to
5.43%. Hypertension frequency was negligible. Occupational medicine decided to react by measures increasing recruit
fitness cooperating with school medicine, teachers and parents, by check-ups, corrections, dieting and physical activities.
