Free annual medical checkups for seniors are good, so why are some people reluctant to participate? What are the reasons?

Although I am retired, I am still a doctor. I am now going to give my views and opinions.

Because of my status, it is reasonable to say that I have to go to the physical examination is also very convenient, everyone can think of. But I really don't do much physical examination. People would say, "Don't all your hospitals or doctors advocate regular medical checkups?

When I say I don't do a lot of medical checkups, I mean the kind of routine checkups that some people talk about. The same programs every year, and some of them are really a walk in the park. I'm more in favor of targeted checkups based on each person's individuality. Again, people will say, "We don't know, right? Then you should consult with your doctor and have a focused yearly checkup.

I have found in hospitals or medical checkup departments that many people come for checkups year after year, but their health does not improve year after year. I have asked a rhetorical question, do people know what is the purpose of medical checkups? This question I had asked many medical checkup people, most of them could not answer. Here I would like to reiterate my answer: I said that the purpose of medical checkups is only two. One is to have a disease early treatment, the second is to prevent the disease first.

Early treatment of disease is well understood; and the most important prevention of disease, we do not pay attention to. And every time after the physical examination, the doctor or report have tips on how to prevent. And most people throw the report, life is still my way. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Under the guidance of the above personal views, I pay more attention to their own improvement. The original work to drink, and drink a lot, or white wine; original always find reasons to say that they are busy, no time to exercise. As a result, when I reached the age of 50, my blood pressure and blood fat were high, my fatty liver was also here, and my liver function was not normal. After that, I completely quit the liquor, insisted on exercising every day, and paid more attention to my diet than in the past. The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good deal on the phone, and I was able to get a good deal on the phone.

This is the first time I've ever seen a person with a high level of physical fitness, and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a person with a high level of physical fitness. In addition, I have a purely own point of view, that is, since the checkup is for prevention. And I'm already paying attention to my life, so if I need to pay more attention to my medical checkups if there are any new problems, then what's the point of living?

This view is only a family opinion, we do not want to follow!

The annual free medical checkup for the elderly is a good thing, why are some people not willing to participate?

Nowadays, it's not easy to find a way to get the best out of the world.

Now generally more than 65 years old, a community hospital will be based on the specific age of the symptoms of the choice of physical examination routine physical examination, that is, routine blood, liver and kidney function, blood glucose, lipids and electrocardiogram routine screening, these screenings for older people, especially more than 65 years of age, are a scientific design, if it is timely to check, may be timely to find the original disease as well as the early stages of the disease. It is a scientific design for the elderly, especially those over 65 years of age, and if done in a timely manner, it may lead to timely detection of the primary disease as well as the early stages of the disease, but some of them are reluctant to participate, why? There may be the following reasons.

1. Not enough awareness, some older people may feel that their body is better, never have any disease can eat and sleep, and there is no uncomfortable symptoms, these unnecessary medical examinations, but to themselves, but to increase the burden of many unnecessary.

2. Fear of checking out diseases. Most of the elderly are not recommended to do a medical examination, afraid of being checked out a series of problems, which will require further examination, serious may be by getting further treatment, they will be this with a sense of fear, so it is not recommended to be willing to go to do a medical examination.

3. Routine medical checkups are not very useful. The elderly patients may have chronic hypertension and diabetes patients long-term turnover hospitalization, and these painless examination, there is no special significance for these patients always check the personal awareness of this kind of examination is a little averse.

In fact, now every community has a family doctor, especially are contracted to each family doctor, they will be based on the elderly have no usual basic disease regular follow-up follow-up, as well as regular physical examination, in fact, the elderly this view is wrong, because even if you do not have too many problems, can be timely screening, there is no myocardial ischemia, mild pre-diabetes and hypertension. Pre-diabetes, if these diseases are not diagnosed before the timely control of the disease will not progress, on the other hand, if the long-term chronic disease in the case of medication, there will be damage to liver and kidney function, so that this timely medical examination can also check out the side effects of the drug on the body, and timely adjustment of the dosage of the drug. Side effects of drugs, negative damage to a body organ that would be more than worth it. There is this free medical examination is the state to give the policy, there is such a good policy, why not fully utilize it?

I also entered the elderly stage of the people, around this age of students, colleagues, many mentioned the annual physical examination, such as in the unit when the annual unit has a fixed project to go to the physical examination, there is no project also do not do their own physical examination, and often there are diseases are not in the scope of the physical examination. When retired, basically there is no meaning of physical examination, always feel that the body can also go to check what? Others think that once checked out to increase the burden on the heart, how should it be? I talk about whether it is free, or their own money every year of the medical examination of the health significance is very important. Through two points (1, the annual physical examination in time to find physical problems, timely adjustment is very meaningful.

2, physical examination can prevent the development of family diseases, reduce unnecessary worry and negative emotions) talk about the benefits of my physical examination.

1, the annual physical examination in time to find physical problems, timely adjustment is very meaningful

The body's organs are a fighting team, then our health meaning is the commander, to understand the body, "know from the other side of the knowledge, a hundred battles are not in danger". For the physical examination I did so, my parents are cancer death, relative and natural our body may have genetic factors, for example, my father is liver and gallbladder cancer death, after my father's death, all of our siblings to do a liver and gallbladder indicators of the examination, and found that the general blood fat and cholesterol is high, an older brother's liver is not state of the art good, in particular, my sister's cholesterol is twice as high as the normal person. So, with the checkup indicators we can adjust according to the body's problems, because I'm relatively young father died when I was only 35 years old, then, after diet and exercise modification, I soon normalized blood lipids. Because of more attention to life and diet, decades past blood lipids and cholesterol are healthy levels.

My mother died of lung cancer, relative to our lungs are not too good, basically are bronchial expansion, my mother 16 years old smoking with us a few siblings, so through the physical examination of this aspect of us are more attention, so every day when we pay attention to the alternation of seasons do not catch a cold, decades past the body is very good.

Siblings physical examination found are high uric acid, then we will study what factors cause the blood acid are high, because my study of nutrition also study medicine, so the dietary life is more attention to regularity, only my blood acid value is normal, my brother and sister are very high, then we find out the root cause of the diet from the family, we are all born in the 40.50 years, when the food is poor, the protein lack, the mother's relatives have farmers, and every year, they have to pay more attention to the food, and the food is not good. Mother's relatives have farmers, every year to send us a lot of soybeans, mother will use beans to do a variety of food, memory of our family almost every day there are beans food, coupled with my brother and sister's work big fish and meat more, so all **** with the appearance of high uric acid. Then we began to plan the diet, legumes and high purine foods eat less, control high uric acid more effective.

I am from the age of 48 years old began to basic regular body checks, because at that time the check has multiple uterine fibroids, so regular body checks, with the increase in age liver hemangiomas, renal cysts have been found out through the physical examination, as well as my mother is the family of thyroid tumors, then, I also did the examination in this area found to be multiple thyroid nodules, so the dietary life on a more attention, it can be limited. development. This is my medical report card over the years, each time against the grasp of the body at this stage of the situation of the first-hand information.

2. Physical examination can prevent the development of family diseases and reduce unnecessary worries and negative emotions

At present, every year, I have a physical examination, through which I can measure my own physical condition during this period of time, and this is a physical examination report, and the blood indexes are normal, which means that the body is relatively stable, so I can rest assured that I will be able to lead a happy life in my old age.

This physical examination report, called me to the health management meaning sublimation, when this report out also appeared a small story, because all the indicators are normal, the hospital felt unbelievable, thought that the detection instrument is broken, and from the new original manual to do it again, or normal, and then give me a call to ask me what I do, I said the health industry, they said so, your body is very good, young people can not compare, this is a very good body, the body is very good. , young people can't even compare, here's my report card at 55.

For example, a checkup found that there are sediment kidney stones, through the recollection found that this period of time outside the study is more, in order to avoid often go to the restroom, limit the amount of water to drink, the body appeared to be alarmed, I promptly adjusted the amount of water per day and the corresponding exercise mode, 3 and then go to the hospital to check, the kidney stones are no longer, then I also pay more attention to life issues, the examination of these years are no problem.

Parents are cancer death, through the annual cancer screening 8 indicators check, do timely understanding of their own body's potential factors, reduce don't worry. Life has also encountered some people with physical problems, do not go to the hospital to check, nonsense, very affected by the health of the mood, over time will also appear health problems.

Through the annual physical examination to understand the current stage of the physical condition, can be found from this age section of the high-risk disease risk disease to find a targeted examination program screening I think it is very meaningful, in the face of the complexity of the body, the medical examination is also to predict the body of a scientific target like detection, found that the body of the potential health problems in time to adjust, increase the meaning of health care, scientific management of health, and the old age of the life of the doubly increased confidence.

A, " do not check no problem, a check are sick, treatment and can not be cured, do not give yourself and your children add to the chaos ". This is a typical ostrich mentality, you are now afraid of trouble, you and your family may be more trouble later.

Second, " physical examination can not find out what is not a big deal, the real big thing in turn can not be found, check also white check ". Physical examination is not everything, but not physical examination is never.

Third, " I just checked last year, nothing, when there is a situation to go check it together, physical examination to see the disease and janitorial " I would like to say: with the symptoms to the hospital, no symptoms to the physical examination, please do not put the cart before the horse.

Four ' I'm quite good, I feel nothing, physical examination is nothing to find things ", in fact, our feelings may be true, but often also can not be relied on, so on people, so on things, so on the disease is even more so. Because, when the health of the emergence of danger, from small dangers to the development of large dangers, from sub-health, early lesions and then to the formation of disease, the changes during this period of time, the need for a process, often most of the time we are not aware of, but once we wait to be aware of when it is too late .......

Whether it's yourself or a loved one, if you're unfortunate enough to be stuck with a chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hepatitis, gastrointestinal disease, asthma, kidney disease, etc., it's a pain in the ass. Even if you get temporary relief after careful treatment, everyone knows that relief is not the same as once and for all, some diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar will also bring you complications. Therefore, you need to have regular medical checkups so that you can adjust your treatment plan according to the progress and changes in your condition. According to big data statistics, the total number of people with chronic diseases in China is as high as 260 million, and more than 65% of them are in the labor force aged 18-59. The deaths caused by chronic diseases account for 85% of the total deaths, of which 75% are premature deaths.

Entering old age, the body enters an eventful period, and the prevalence of various diseases increases significantly. Therefore, middle-aged people over the age of 50, the interval between checkups should be shortened to about half a year, and it is best to check twice a year. Especially for those over 60, the interval should be about 3-4 months. Checkups should be conducted by a doctor who is familiar with your health condition, so as to provide you with comprehensive and systematic health care guidance. The elderly should not be afraid to check the mentality of "fear of inspection", afraid to give their children trouble, in fact, the more afraid of the more likely to give their children more trouble.

Health is not easy, and it is something to be cherished!

We wish our elderly friends a long and healthy life!

Live a healthy, happy, quality life!

With the improvement of people's material living standards, many places are now carrying out free medical checkups for the elderly. Physical examination as a means of health check, there are many benefits, can do early detection of certain diseases, early prevention, early treatment, better reduce the prevalence of disease, improve the quality of life. However, some elderly people are reluctant to participate in it, thinking that they do not have any discomfort, there is no need to do the examination, then in the end how to look at the physical examination? Here's what I think.

Now our material life has improved a lot, a lot of "rich people's disease" has also come, many places in order to residents of the health of the elderly to provide free checkups, but a part of the elderly are not willing to go. This may be due to the following reasons: 1) Some people feel that they are in good health, there is no need to do some checkups, and they are not willing to go for medical checkups. 2) Some people are not good enough to pass the psychological hurdle, and they feel that the abnormal results of the medical checkups will have a negative psychological impact on them. 3) Some elderly people are afraid of burdening their children, and they feel that it is better not to check, but to check that they are all sick, and that the later treatments are more expensive. 4) Many people may not believe in free checkups, and they may not believe that it is the right thing to do. There are also many people who may not believe in free medical checkups, thinking that they are again promoting medical devices, or they do not believe in the results of the checkups. All of the above may have a wrong understanding of the physical examination, and thus reluctant to go to the physical examination.

As children, we all hope that the elderly at home are healthy and free of disease, but as the body grows older, the prevalence of various organs will increase significantly, although they feel no discomfort, but the disease may have crept in. This requires us to arrange regular medical checkups for the elderly in the family, and we can all rest assured that nothing is wrong, and even if there is something wrong, we will be able to treat it early if we find it early. So the elderly must not have the fear of checking the mentality, afraid to give their children trouble, our annual medical examination is necessary!

Free medical checkups are not willing to participate? I think there may be the following reasons.

Follow Dr. Know Your Heart Blue to learn more about the heart.

First, there's a concern that the free checkups don't actually mean anything. There are a number of organizations that send out flyers to the community saying that they are offering free medical checkups to people over 60 or 65 years old. In fact, the medical checkups are very simple, only measuring height, weighing, measuring blood pressure, blood sugar, and occasionally adding a blood test, liver function. These programs are reliable or not. Height and weight are easy to measure, which is reliable. Blood sugar measurement is also not difficult, a finger pricked and squeezed a drop of blood, test the blood sugar. Focus on the measurement of blood pressure, many organizations promise to give you a free blood pressure measurement, just promise to give you a measurement, and do not pay much attention to the precautions for measuring blood pressure, such as the measurement of blood pressure before taking a break for more than 5 minutes, anyway, you people walk over, arm put up, cuff inflated to measure blood pressure, sometimes it seems like going through the motions.

Second, it's a waste of time. Some organizations give you a free physical examination, not that you come right away to do it for you, sometimes a long queue, wait a long time, listen to a lot of publicity and advertising. The physical examination of the program is not much, and I feel that it can not take advantage of what is cheap.

Third, I'm worried about being cheated.

There is no such thing as a free dinner, and when you have a medical checkup, you will need to fill out a lot of information, including your address, ID number, phone number, and even information about your children. It's not uncommon to see news of people being duped and cheated for taking part in these free programs.
