Preventive Health Checkups are need of the hour today. Most checkups include Blood Tests, Chest X-Rays, ECGs, Sonography, Physical Checkups, Eye Screening, Dental Screening, etc. Selection of these tests depends from person to person as per their age. As for example, if you are in your 40s, you should get tested for CBC, Blood Sugar, Thyroid Tests, Lipid PRofile at least once a year as opposed to a person in his 20s who should do his lipid profile only once in 5 years if results are normal. Men over the age of 50 years should get their PSA test (Prostate Screening) atleast once a year.
There is a need to customize tests according to your age and sex.
