Introduction

Many diseases can be prevented or treated early with regular medical checkups. Yet, many people only visit the doctor when they are sick.

Why Regular Checkups Are Important

• Early detection of diseases – Many illnesses show no symptoms at first.
• Better management of existing conditions – Diabetes, hypertension, etc.
• Prevention through vaccinations – Immunization protects against serious infections.
• General health monitoring – Blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels.

Key Health Screenings for Different Ages

Children & Teens – Growth monitoring, vaccines, and dental checkups.
Adults (20-40 years) – Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes checks.
Middle-aged (40-60 years) – Cancer screenings (breast, prostate, colon).
Seniors (60+ years) – Bone density, vision, and memory tests.

Conclusion

Prevention is better than cure. Regular checkups save lives and improve quality of life by catching illnesses early.
