Preventive health checkups are aimed at identifying potential health issues before symptoms arise. They include assessments of medical history, lifestyle habits, vital signs, and physical examinations. Common lab tests screen for conditions like diabetes and cancer. The appropriate checks and frequency vary by age, gender, family history, and other individual factors. Guidelines recommend checks like blood pressure and cancer screenings from ages 40-64. The takeaway message is that prevention is better than cure, and selective health check packages tailored to each person are most effective.
When you get a preventive medical test, you're not just doing it for yourself. You're doing it for your family and loved ones:

Men are 24 percent more likely than women to be hospitalized for pneumonia that could have been prevented by getting an immunization.
The single most important way you can take care of yourself and those you love is to actively take part in your health care. Educate yourself on health care and participate in decisions with your doctor. This site will help you get started.
Health screening and health of the nation 2015Kerry Harrison
This document discusses methods of health screening and monitoring exercise programs. It outlines several common health screening methods such as medical questionnaires, measurements of vital signs, blood tests, and other investigations. These screenings are used to evaluate health status and provide personalized medical reports and recommendations. The document also discusses influences on health like physical fitness levels, obesity rates, and cardiac problems in the nation. Maintaining health requires balancing personal autonomy with external factors like environment, education, and media that influence lifestyle choices. Governments promote health through policies, initiatives, and regulating influences like the media.

Checkups and tests you need now to make life betterDr Kamaljit Singh
Getting a checkup is a way of making sure everything is OK. Some people see their doctor every year for a physical. But there's some debate about whether an annual exam is helpful or needed. How often you should have a checkup depends on many things, including your age, general health, and whether you have risk factors for certain problems. At a routine checkup, your doctor will ask you questions about your health and lifestyle. She'll listen to your heart and lungs. She'll also likely measure your weight and vital signs like blood pressure and temperature.
This document provides health screening guidelines and recommendations for different stages of life. It discusses recommended annual checkups and screenings in one's 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Key recommendations include scheduling regular physicals, maintaining a healthy weight, understanding family health histories, screening for common diseases like cancer and heart disease, and establishing healthy lifestyle habits. The goal is to catch any health issues early and prioritize preventative care throughout adulthood.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition where the force of blood pushing against artery walls is too high. If left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and stroke. High blood pressure is diagnosed through regular checkups where a doctor uses a blood pressure cuff to measure pressure in the arteries. Treatment options include medications, a healthy diet low in fat and salt, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. Web sites like those run by the CDC provide information to help manage and prevent high blood pressure.

This document discusses maintaining a healthy weight to reduce cancer risk. It notes that 30-40% of cancer cases could be prevented through diet and lifestyle factors like maintaining a healthy weight. The document recommends focusing on overall healthy living rather than weight loss alone. It encourages a diet high in plants and whole grains, watching portion sizes, regular physical activity, and practical lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting. Maintaining a BMI between 18.5-25 through these strategies can significantly lower cancer and other disease risks.

1. Men: Stay Healthy at 50+
Use this information to help you stay healthy at ages 50 and above. Learn which screening tests you
need and when to get them, which medicines may prevent diseases, and steps you can take for good
health.
Get the Screenings You Need
Screenings are tests that look for diseases before you have symptoms. Blood pressure checks and
tests for high blood cholesterol are examples of screenings.
You can get some screenings, such as blood pressure readings, in your doctor's office. Others, such
as colonoscopy, a test for colon cancer, need special equipment, so you may need to go to a different
office.
After a screening test, ask when you will see the results and who you should talk to about them.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. If you are between the ages of 65 and 75 and have ever been a smoker,
(smoked 100 or more cigarettes in your lifetime), talk to your health care team about being screened
for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAA is a bulging in your abdominal aorta, your largest artery.
An AAA may burst, which can cause dangerous bleeding and death.
An ultrasound, a painless procedure in which you lie on a table while a technician slides a medical
device over your abdomen, will show whether an aneurysm is present.
Colon Cancer. If you are 75 or younger, get a screening test for colorectal cancer. Several different
tests--for example, a stool test or a colonoscopy--can detect this cancer. Your doctor or nurse can
help you decide which is best for you. If you are between the ages of 76 and 85, talk to your doctor
or nurse about whether you should continue to be screened.
Depression. Your emotional health is as important as your physical health. Talk to your doctor or
nurse about being screened for depression especially if during the last 2 weeks:
You have felt down, sad, or hopeless.
2. You have felt little interest or pleasure in doing things.
Diabetes. Get screened for diabetes (high blood sugar) with a blood test if you have high blood
pressure or take medication for high blood pressure.
Diabetes can cause problems with your heart, brain, eyes, feet, kidneys, nerves, and other body
parts.
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Get screened one time for HCV infection if:
You were born between 1945 and 1965.
You have ever injected drugs.
You received a blood transfusion before 1992.
If you currently are an injection drug user, you should be screened regularly.
You know your body better than anyone else. Always tell your doctor or nurse about any changes in
your health, including your vision and hearing. Ask them about being checked for any condition you
are concerned about, not just the ones here. If you are wondering about diseases such as
Alzheimer's disease or skin cancer, for example, ask about them.
High Blood Cholesterol. Have your blood cholesterol checked regularly with a blood test. High blood
cholesterol increases your chance of heart disease, stroke, and poor circulation.
High Blood Pressure. Have your blood pressure checked at least every 2 years. High blood pressure
can cause strokes, heart attacks, kidney and eye problems, and heart failure.
HIV. If you are 65 or younger, get screened for HIV. If you are older than 65, ask your doctor or
nurse if you should be screened.
Lung Cancer: Talk to your doctor or nurse about getting screened for lung cancer if you are between
the ages of 55 and 80, have a 30 pack-year smoking history, and smoke now or have quit within the
past 15 years. (Your pack-year history is the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day times the
number of years you have smoked.) Know that quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your
health.
Lung cancer can be detected with low-dose computed tomography (LCT). For LCT, you lie on a table
while a large machine passes over you to scan your lungs.
Overweight and Obesity. The best way to learn if you are overweight or obese is to find your body
mass index (BMI). You can find your BMI by entering your height and weight into a BMI calculator,
such as the one available at: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm
A BMI between 18.5 and 25 indicates a normal weight. Persons with a BMI of 30 or higher may be
obese. If you are obese, talk to your doctor or nurse about getting intensive counseling and help with
changing your behaviors to lose weight. Overweight and obesity can lead to diabetes and
cardiovascular disease.
Get Preventive Medicines If You Need Them
3. Aspirin. Your doctor or nurse can help you decide whether taking aspirin to prevent a heart attack is
right for you.
Vitamin D to Avoid Falls. If you are 65 or older and have a history of falls, mobility problems, or
other risks for falling, ask your doctor about taking a vitamin D supplement to help reduce your
chances of falling. Exercise and physical therapy may also help.
Immunizations:
Get a flu shot every year.
Get a shot for tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough. Get a tetanus booster if it has been more
than 10 years since your last shot.
If you are 60 or older, get a shot to prevent shingles.
If you are 65 or older, get a pneumonia shot.
Talk with your health care team about whether you need other vaccinations. You can also find which
ones you need by going to: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines.
