RESUMEN
The number of visits to an in-house industrial medical clinic, of absences in three categories, and of late arrivals found in 1,505 employees of an automobile assembly plant were compared with respect to the age, sex, race, department, and shift characteristics of the employees. Less than 16% of the work force was found to account for over 50% of the medical visits. Those 235 frequent visitors were found to have significantly more absences and more tardiness compared with the rest of the plant population. The frequent visitors who completed a health risk appraisal had significantly greater health risks compared with a responding sample of nonfrequent visitors.
