As general living standards rise, so does the demand for periodic general health examinations (GHEs). Research on the subject, however, has reached opposing conclusions on the value of GHEs, although methodological limitations in previous works make these differences hard to resolve. Here, we present data from a socio-demographic survey of behaviours and tendencies concerning periodic GHE attendance in Vietnam. These data are shown to be suitable for evaluating the impact of demographic and socio-economic elements on regular health examinations. By presenting the methods used in this survey and by describing the enquiries mentioned in the dataset, this article aims to promote data-collecting methodologies that can help policy-makers and health communicators derive practical conclusions.
随着生活水平的提高，人们对定期进行一般健康检查（GHE）的需求也在增加。然而，关于 GHE 的价值，相关研究得出了相反的结论，尽管以前的研究工作存在方法学上的局限性，使得这些差异难以解决。在这里，我们展示了来自越南关于定期进行 GHE 行为和趋势的社会人口学调查的数据。这些数据适合评估人口统计学和社会经济因素对定期健康检查的影响。通过介绍这项调查中使用的方法，并描述数据集所包含的调查内容，本文旨在促进数据收集方法的发展，帮助政策制定者和健康传播者得出实际结论。
