Background. Starting from the premise of the existence of positive correlation between medical culture grade specific to one group of population and alimentary behaviour and, consequent, the health state and performing capacity, the research wants to offer to the decisional factors proofs on which they can fundament legislative measures for elaborating some retiring norms which can provide flexible ages (after case).
Methods. Research was realized on a 129 subjects between 55-70 years from four sectors of activity representative: agriculture, industry, education and health. For the investigation of the food behaviour, we realized the nutritional inquest and for appreciating the nutrition state we calculated the body mass index. The state of health was evaluated regarding the regime of hospitalization/ambulatory of the subjects: for the hospitalized subjects investigated cardiovascular and biochemical by the discharge diagnosis and for non hospitalized subjects, by clinical exam and from family practitioners evidences.
Results. From all the hospitalized subjects 54 (90%) presented chronic diseases: 14 in agriculture, industry and health (93.33%) and 12 in education (12.80%). Chronic diseases were more frequent at men (N=28), and at the subjects of 65-70 years (N=19) and 55-59 years (N=18).
From the 69 non hospitalized subjects, 24 (34.8%) were healthy persons: 8 from agriculture, one from industry, 6 from education and 9 from health and 45 (65.22%) presented chronic diseases. In industry, 94.4% (N=17) is under active medical surveillance, in agriculture more than a half, 55.55% ((N=10) presented chronic disease, in education more than two thirds, 68.75% (N=10), and in medical sector less than a half, 47.05% (N=8) were known with chronic diseases. Chronic diseases were registered a little more at women (N=23) and at 55-59 years of age (N=20) and at 65-70 years of age (N=14).
Conclusions. The overweight was correlated with the presence of the chronic diseases.

Learning Objectives: 1. Knowing the health state of non hospitalized subjects from four sectors of activity: agriculture, industry, education and health. 2. Knowing the health state at the hospitalized subjects cardiovascular and biochemical investigated from the four sectors of activity. 3. Understanding the correlation between the overweight and the presence of the chronic diseases.
