General practitioners (408) and secondary teachers (385) responded to a questionnaire about their health and lifestyle with a response rate of 48 and 45 per cent respectively. Their answers were corroborated by a separate questionnaire completed by their spouse or domestic partner. A sub-group of 50 general practitioners and 50 teachers were examined to assess their physical fitness and mental health. Half of each group was below average fitness compared to the general population. General practitioners were more likely than teachers to practise disease prevention. Ten per cent of general practitioners and 13 per cent of teachers were smokers; 8 per cent of general practitioners and 14 per cent of teachers reported an alcohol consumption that exceeded recommended limits. General practitioners took remarkably little sickness absence compared to teachers. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were more common in teachers: a need for alcohol, binge eating and sleep difficulties were frequently experienced in both groups. Medication taken by the two groups was similar and self-medication was common amongst the general practitioners. Less than half the general practitioners thought they would use an occupational health service if it were established.
408名全科医生和385名中学教师填写了一份关于他们健康和生活方式的调查问卷，回复率分别为48%和45%。他们的回答得到了由其配偶或同居伴侣填写的另一份调查问卷的证实。对50名全科医生和50名教师组成的一个子群体进行了检查，以评估他们的身体健康和心理健康状况。与普通人群相比，每组中有一半人的健康状况低于平均水平。全科医生比教师更有可能进行疾病预防。10%的全科医生和13%的教师吸烟；8%的全科医生和14%的教师报告饮酒量超过推荐限量。与教师相比，全科医生请病假的情况明显较少。焦虑和抑郁症状在教师中更为常见：两组中经常出现对酒精的需求、暴饮暴食和睡眠困难。两组服用的药物相似，自我用药在全科医生中很常见。不到一半的全科医生认为，如果设立职业健康服务，他们会使用该服务。
