Early detection of sub-health status and potential diseases through physical examination and early adjustment of treatment are of great significance for improving curative effect, shortening treatment time, reducing medical expenses and improving quality of life. Investing some money in physical examination, early detection, early prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment is naturally the most economical and practical way.
However, some young people often ignore physical examination as a dispensable or troublesome thing. However, experts suggest that from the perspective of preventive medicine, all healthy people should take a physical examination at least once a year. In particular, the following three groups of people need regular physical examination.
First of all, office workers
Statistics show that among office workers, the incidence of fatty liver is as high as 12.9%, obesity is 310.6%, hyperlipidemia is 0/2.8%, and coronary heart disease is 3. 1%. The analysis shows that the prevalence of fatty liver and hyperlipidemia among office workers is higher than that of the whole population, which is related to their eating habits. Unscientific food structure, irregular entertainment, partial eclipse and snacks disturb normal metabolism and provide conditions for fatty liver and obesity. If you do a serious physical examination every year, you can find the abnormality of related indexes, find them early and correct them in time, effectively prevent the liver from further fibrosis and sclerosis, and prevent liver and kidney damage.
Second, middle-aged people over 40 years old
According to the age, people aged 65,438+08-40 show a slow upward trend with age, but when they are over 40 years old, the proportion of latent diseases suddenly rises, and more and more obvious disease symptoms appear around 55 years old, and the pace of slipping into diseases is rapidly accelerated. Middle-aged people who shoulder the heavy responsibility of career and family should never neglect physical examination.
Middle-aged people over 40 years old should establish physical examination files and have regular physical examinations every year. For diseases such as cysts and polyps found in physical examination that do not need drug treatment or are ineffective, they should be reviewed regularly according to the doctor's advice and dynamically observe the changes of the condition; Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes should be systematically treated and followed up. People who smoke for many years or are exposed to irritating gases should have regular check-ups in order to find lung cancer early. The detection of tumor markers, such as alpha-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen, can be increased to exclude liver cancer.
Third, patients with chronic diseases.
Patients with chronic diseases refer to people who have already suffered from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hepatitis, asthma, stomach diseases and other diseases. They may be temporarily relieved under the treatment of doctors, but they will never get a good prescription once and for all. Therefore, these patients should still be followed up and examined regularly. Diabetes patients should check their blood sugar at least once a month to see if there are any complications. Patients with hepatitis B should have a B-ultrasound examination of the liver once every six months, so as to find liver lesions as soon as possible. ECG reexamination can reveal the changes and progress of coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia. Fundus examination can reflect the situation of cerebral arteriosclerosis, so people with hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and obesity must always check their fundus.
In recent years, although the average life expectancy of human beings is increasing, there is still an indisputable fact worthy of people's attention, that is, the healthy life expectancy is shortening, and the onset age of many diseases is declining, such as "some people have cancer in their twenties". In fact, this is often because people ignore an important issue; The human body is like a machine, which is always worn out year after year. Even if there are no symptoms, it is in a sub-health state. In order to keep healthy, regular inspection and maintenance are essential. To maintain a healthy state, it is very important to find the clues of diseases at an early stage. Regular physical examination is the best way and the cornerstone of health that cannot be ignored.
