Key points of health examination:

First, weight measurement: Middle-aged people are busy with work and have more entertainment, and often do not pay attention to physical exercise. As time goes on, their bodies become more and more obese. Obesity is the cause of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. Regular weight measurement is an effective measure to prevent diseases.

Second, blood pressure measurement: measuring blood pressure regularly is of great significance and positive role in ensuring health.

Chest X-ray: There are many similarities between the early symptoms of lung cancer and bronchitis. If you don't do chest X-ray in time to find the focus, you will lose the best treatment opportunity and even endanger your life. Effective physical examination can reduce the mortality rate of lung cancer.

4. Electrocardiogram: It is a method to find coronary heart disease and arrhythmia. It can find hidden heart disease in the early stage, and at the same time understand the blood supply of myocardium, providing valuable information for diagnosis.

5. Blood test: The diagnostic rate of alpha-fetoprotein for primary liver cancer is 80% ~ 90%, especially for middle-aged people over 40 years old, who are busy with work, stressed and prone to physical exhaustion. If they can check regularly and find abnormal conditions, they can be treated as soon as possible.

6. Fundus examination: Early arteriosclerosis can be found, especially in patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. If they have blurred vision and headache recently, they should be vigilant and need further examination.

Seven, B-ultrasound: gallbladder, kidney calculi and various tumors, through B-ultrasound examination, to provide clinical diagnosis basis.

Eight, urine test: diagnosis of kidney disease, diabetes, urinary tract infection, etc.

Nine. Others: The above examination still failed to diagnose the disease. If further diagnosis is needed, CT and MRI can be done to find out the disease as soon as possible, make a clear diagnosis and make a treatment plan.
