Abstract
Screening examinations are widely advocated for the early detection of disease in the elderly (Williamson et al., 1964; Lowther, McLeod and Williamson, 1970; Williams et al., 1972; Richardson, 1964; Anderson and Cowan, 1955; Isaacs, Livingstone and Neville, 1972). There have been several successful experiments in the use of health visitors and district nurses in the initial interview (Burns, 1969; Hodes, 1971; McNabola, 1970; Williamson et al., 1966).Keywords
