A full-body checkup, also known as a comprehensive health checkup or a preventive health checkup, is a thorough examination of an individual’s overall health status. It typically involves a series of medical tests, screenings, and consultations to assess various aspects of health and detect potential health issues at an early stage. Full-body checkups are valuable for preventive healthcare, helping individuals understand their health status and take proactive measures to maintain or improve their well-being.
Full-body checkups are often tailored based on age, gender, family history, and individual health risks.
Components of a Full-Body Checkup may include:
Physical Examination : A comprehensive physical examination conducted by a healthcare professional to assess general health, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate), and overall physical condition.
Health Counseling : Consultation with a healthcare professional to discuss lifestyle factors, risk factors, and personalized recommendations for maintaining or improving health.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Measurement : Assessment of body weight in relation to height to evaluate obesity and associated health risks.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) : Recording the electrical activity of the heart to assess cardiac health and detect abnormalities.
