Comprehensive Preventive Health Checkups

Annual check up protocol.

To create a comprehensive preventive medicine screening program for a patient, in general we include evidence-based recommendations tailored by age, gender, previous illnesses, genetics and multiple risk enhancing factors.  We follow the science closely so as to provide  up to date testing. 

Tests:

Blood Pressure. Twice a year in adults over 18 and more often if the patient is hypertensive or high risk.

Body Mass Index evaluation, minimally yearly.

Physical examination.

Full Blood Panel. This includes: Inflammatory markers, red and white cell count, metabolic evaluation, renal function, liver tests, full lipid panel, anemia screening, hormone evaluation, tumoral markers (if indicated).

Urine testing.

Colon Cancer screening. We begin at the age of 24 using the monoclonal occult blood in stool tests which we repeat 3  times so as to reduce the likelihood of false negatives. 

At the age of 45 we carry out  a first Colonoscopy. The monoclonal stool testing is carried out on all our patients in the years that they do not have a colonoscopy.

Cardiological check up. Consider every 2 years after age 40, yearly after age 50 if there are cardiovascular risk factors present.

Gynaecological check up.

Breast Cancer screening. Mammography every 1-2 years from age 40-74, earlier if high risk.

Lung Cancer Screening, Annual low-dose CT scan for adults 50-80 with 20+ pack-year smoking history, current smoker or having quit within the last 15 years.

Osteoporosis: Women 65 , earlier if indicated (e.g., risk factors or postmenopausal).

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: One-time ultrasound for men 65-75, with a history of smoking.

Vision and Hearing: Periodically, more often with advancing age or symptoms.

Observations: 

As problems relating to Cholesterol (lipids) can start to condition the healthspan and lifespan of a person as from birth, the earlier they have their risk factors assessed the better the outcomes. A heart attack is not an illness, it is an event that tends to happen at the end of  one.

Once the checkup is complete, your doctor may tell you to see a specialist or to perform one or more additional tests.

The purpose of the checkup is to look for risks, abnormalities, or illnesses in a healthy person or someone who already knows what active illnesses they have and wants to conduct screening to detect potential problems they are unaware of so they can address them early.
