Turkish Doctors' Cohort: Healthy despite low screening.

CONCLUSION: In this cohort of mainly middle-aged Turkish doctors, the age-standardized rates of chronic diseases were lower than the rates in the general population except for the rates of hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease. However, doctors did show quite low rates of receipt of screening practices. These results might provoke questions about how to use Turkish doctors' health behaviors to further improve doctors' and, relatedly, patients' health.
