It is always good to start checkups early, but a lot of factors can play into how early that could be. Factors like what kind of business you operate and what kind of chemicals you are exposed to would be very important in determining your health status.
Family and finances can also take their toll after a while, especially if you are under some stress.
There are those who should begin their medical checkups as early as in the 30s. However, in general, it is advisable to start having your annual medical checkup at age 40. If you are over 50, it is recommended to start this checkup as soon as possible.
In the case of people with cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, obesity or who have a history of a disease in the family, such as one of the parents having suffered from cancer, it is very important to have a complete medical checkup.
Types Of Medical Checkup
You must have seen us talk about preventive medical checkup and complete medical checkup above. The thing is that there are different types of medical checkups. In general, you can talk about preventive checkup and diagnostic checkup.
The preventive medical checkup is aimed at people without known prior illness. It is the one that is performed in most cases. However, what we call the medical diagnostic check focuses on getting to know more about a symptom or a specific pathology that the patient already has.
Beyond this, we can also classify medical checkups by their generality or specificity. The full body scan, for example, is done to find out a few basic information from all over the body. It gives you a general idea of the state of your body as a whole.
There are also checkups that focus on specific parts, organs or system in the body. While it is good to have general body checkups, it is also good to have these more focused and intensive checkups on specific parts of the body. There are also checkups designed for a specific group of people, like your family as a whole.
