5 Essential Health Screenings Every Adult Should Have 

Regular full body health checkups are crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Despite their significance, only a mere 25% of the Indian population undergoes regular medical screenings.

Importance of Regular Full Body Health Checkups

Regardless of age or gender, everyone should have regular full body health examinations. These examinations act as maintenance for your body, mind, and health, much like routine auto maintenance does for your vehicle. They give you vital information about your body, empowering you to take charge of your health and choose wisely regarding your way of life and available treatments.

Why Regular Checkups Matter

Youth must understand that the lifestyle decisions they make today will have a big influence on their health in the future. Early medical tests and check-ups may help in the prevention of serious illnesses.

Many lifestyle diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, can be prevented or managed effectively through early detection and lifestyle modifications. Regular health checkups help in identifying risk factors and adopting preventive measures.

Key Screening Tests in Full Body Health Checkups:

Hemogram (CBC): Measures levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit to assess overall blood health.

Lipid Profile: Assesses levels of cholesterol and triglycerides to evaluate heart health and assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Diabetes and thyroid Panel: Diabetes panel includes tests such as HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, glucose tolerance test, and random blood sugar to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes. Thyroid Panel evaluates thyroid function by measuring levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Liver Panel: Checks liver function by measuring levels of enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin.

Bone Mineral Test (BMT) and Cancer Screening: Evaluates bone health and assesses the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Cancer screening includes tests such as mammogram, Pap smear, and PSA test to detect breast cancer, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer, respectively.
