What is check-up?
Check up is a health screening that aims to detect possible diseases at an early stage and take precautions. This chain of procedures, which includes examinations by specialist physicians as well as laboratory tests and radiological imaging, is shaped according to the age, gender, genetic heritage and risk factors of the person. In other words, young people are evaluated within the scope of preventive medicine, while older people undergo comprehensive screenings to detect many different diseases at an early stage.
In addition, depending on the person's current health status, parameters such as obesity, diabetes, lipid metabolism, cardiovascular diseases can also be evaluated to detect potential ailments early and delay their emergence. A basic health check-up can be performed for people of all ages, whether or not they have any complaints. Thus, the person can protect his/her health, take precautions at an early stage or treat the existing disease at an early stage.
