I think there are two main reasons why the elderly are reluctant to go for medical checkups:
Firstly, the problem of money, many elderly people are always reluctant to go for medical checkups when they are told to do so, they feel that there is nothing wrong with their bodies, and there is no need for them to spend this unnecessary money. So they are very resistant to go to the physical examination, which may be related to the old man earlier used to the hard life, do not want to spend a penny, in addition, also want to reduce the burden of their children. In fact, have they ever thought that if they are sick, the cost of treating them is much more than the cost of going for check-ups? If you usually have to go to the medical examination, then you can avoid some diseases, or that early detection and early treatment, then you can spend less money, the body does not have to suffer so much.
Second, the psychological acceptance, some of the elderly did not go to the physical examination before, will always want to go to the physical examination to find their own body has abnormalities, then how to do, so they are worried about their own body problems were checked out, so they do not dare to go. In fact, at this time as a woman should enlighten their parents, to eliminate their doubts, tell them, even if the examination of what is wrong, then we can also be treated in advance, it is better than later onset, then to be treated may be too late. This can be done by explaining to them the examples of some people around them who did not go for medical checkups and then went for treatment after the onset of the disease, so as to psychologically scare them into accepting to go for medical checkups.
In fact, my family has also encountered this matter, how to persuade parents do not want to go to the physical examination, and then we thought of a way, that is to help them book a good physical examination of the hospital, and then tell them that this is the company to provide the benefits of the free to take their families to the physical examination. It is because of the free, the elderly will be more willing to accept to go to the physical examination.
