Early Detection of and Intervention Towards Chronic Diseases Among Individuals Without Formal Education

"Individuals allocated to the intervention group will receive a personal invitation to an appointed health check from their general practitioner. Three days before the appointment participants will be reminded by phone about the appointment.~At the health check a follow-up consultation will be scheduled. At the follow-up consultation the results of the health check will be reviewed. All participants with abnormal screens at the health check will, depending of the severity, either receive the offer of a referral to the municipality health center for a lifestyle change program and/or follow the procedures for diagnostics and treatment. This will follow the usual medical standards in general practice. For individuals with abnormal screens or health behavior amenable to intervention at the first health check an additional health check will be scheduled six months after the first health check with a follow-up consultation for review of the results."
