Abstract

Urban residents in Southwest China generally had a high willingness to undergo physical examinations, but there were differences in knowledge and practice; at the same time, residents lacked understanding of respiratory assessments. Improving the health literacy of medical staff, strengthening urban residents' health education, and enhancing the utilization rate of health checkups in urban residents are necessary and urgent.
