In this study, the analysis on findings from simple chest radiography(CXR) test with total 1,669 subjects without any special clinical symptom came to the following conclusions : 1. In terms of the general characteristics of subjects hereof, male and female group accounted for 55.2% and 44.8% respectively out of all 1,669 people. 2. Pulmonary disease cases amounted to 249 persons(14.9%) out of all subjects. 3. In the analysis on prevalence rate by age distribution, it was noted that the older age led to the more number of diseases, which was demonstrated by age 34 or younger(6.1%), age , age , and age 50 or older(30.8%). 4. In regard of pulmonary disease alone, the region of onset was represented primarily by right upper lobe, which was followed by both upper lobe and left upper lobe, respectively. 5. In terms of disease types, it was found that most cases were represented by pulmonary nodule(55.0%), which was followed by cardiomegaly(24.5%), CP angle blunting(4.8%), scoliosis(4.6%), tortuous aorta(2.8%), bronchial luminal dilatation(2.4%), and pleural thickening(2.0%). However, dextrocardia, cystic dilation of bronchus, cavitary lesion, and lung collapse accounted for relatively low rate(0.4% respectively). 6. In terms of disease types by sex, it was found that male group accounted for higher percentage of having pulmonary nodule than female group, while the latter accounted for higher percentage of having cardiomegaly, tortuous aorta and scoliosis than the former. 7. In terms of disease types by age distribution, it was noted that age 34 or younger group accounted for higher percentage of scoliosis than any other age groups, while age group, age group, and age 50 or older group represented the case of CP angle blunting, pulmonary nodule, and cardiomegaly/tortuous aorta, respectively.
