Experimental: Health check
The intervention consists of invitation for a behavioural and clinical examination followed by either (I) referral to a health promoting consultation in general practice (II) targeted behavioural programmes at the local Health Centre or (III ) no need for follow-up.
|
Other: Health check
The program includes four components: Invitation: All participants receive invitation by mail and a prefixed appointment time. A web-based questionnaire including self-reported health (SF12), physical activity, smoking habits and alcohol use/behaviour has to be answered before Health Examination (HE). The HE include: Blood pressure, waist, weight, lung function test, lipid profile, HbA1c and fitness (Aastrand). Health profile pamphlet: The participant receives a pamphlet with the results. The persons are stratified into three groups (I) referral to a consultation in general practice (GP) (II) targeted behavioural programs at the health centre (HC) or (III ) no identified need for health promoting follow-up. Follow-up according to risk-profile: If referred to GP treatment of risk conditions or diseases will follow national guidelines. The GPs were paid 50 Euros per health interview. |
No Intervention: No invitation
The persons randomised to the control arm does not get invitation to a health care examination before time for follow up in the intervention group.

- Physical activity [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Physical activity level will be measured by 1) self-reported physical activity (days/week with minimum 30 minutes moderate physical activity) and 2) physical fitness, measured by Aastrands submaximal bike-test.
- Modelled cardiovascular risk [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Cardiovascular risk will be measured as a modelled risk of developing cardiovascular disease within 10 years and includes information on age, gender, smoking status, systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol.
- Health related quality of life [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Health related quality of life measured by The Medical Outcome Study Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF12)
- Functional capacity [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Functional capacity will be measured as affiliation to the labor market (work participation in the last year)and sick leave > 3 weeks.
- Health economy assessment [ Time Frame: 4 years ]The economic benefits of the interventions will be assessed by comparing mean direct and total costs (direct and productivity costs), and expected life years gained (LYG) in the intervention group with the control group (within a period of four.
