Preventive Health Checkups Everyone Should Consider
In your twenties and thirties
Blood pressure, complete blood count, fasting glucose, thyroid function, vitamin D and B12. Women should discuss cervical screening and iron levels with their doctor.
In your forties
Add a lipid profile, liver and kidney function, an ECG, and mammography or other screening as advised. This is the decade where early intervention has the greatest long-term payoff.
Fifty and beyond
Colorectal screening, bone density, eye and hearing checks, and a review of every long-term medication. Bring past reports so trends, not single values, guide decisions.
Make the results useful
A panel only helps if a clinician interprets it in context. Book a follow-up consultation to turn numbers into a plan.
