Who needs regular check-up ? and Why? | Kauvery Hospitals Bangalore
Dr. Farah Adam Mukadam, Family Physician at Kauvery Hospitals, Bangalore, explains who needs a regular check-up and why. With our sedentary lifestyle, many of us are living like 50-year-olds in the bodies of 30-year-olds. As a result, she recommends yearly check-ups starting in your 30s, or at least once every two years. These health checks focus on three major metabolic diseases—diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure—all of which increase the risk of heart disease, strokes, and kidney issues. Dr. Mukadam also discusses additional tests like liver and kidney function checks, chest X-rays, ECGs, and treadmill tests to assess overall health.
