In this longitudinal study we observed a sample of people who participated in the general health screening program in Vorarlberg between 1986 and 1994. The aim was to analyse the changes in the parameters, body-mass index, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, gamma-GT and triglycerides of 1205 women and 718 men over this period. Using the baseline values recorded in 1986 as reference the sample was divided into groups with normal, slightly increased and highly increased values for the parameters. On average, the risk factors of people with highly increased baseline values decreased on both a short-term (1986-1988), and a long-term basis (1986-1994). The only exception was the body-mass index, which showed a slight reduction in the first two years and a slight increase in the long run. The normal baseline values rose in all the variables within the period of observation. Sex differences must be considered with regard to body-mass index, cholesterol and triglycerides, age differences are significant with regard to body-mass index, systolic blood pressure and cholesterol. The results of the study point to the usefulness of regular participation in general health screening programs. They show, in particular, that the risk factors for civilization-induced diseases diminish visibly in the group of highly endangered people.
