Owing to the fact that nutrition, lifestyle, economic status, and socio-economic factors affect the process of <\/span>aging<span style=\"color: #000000;\">, each person experiences unique changes that are associated with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Age-related degenerative diseases, including those of Gastro-intestinal tract, Central Nervous system, hormonal imbalances and sensory degeneration, and the high risk of an <\/span>attack<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of infections increases the burden on an <\/span>aging<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> body to stay healthy. In such a scenario, it becomes imperative to subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/labs\/packages\/winter-special-health-check-1364-117?utm_campaign=taxsaver&amp;utm_medium=articles&amp;utm_source=labtest2\"><strong><b>preventive health checkups<\/b><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0available in abundance for the senior citizens of the society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Preventive health checkups are different from basic health checkups, in that it provides a deeper insight of the status of the body. Besides conducting tests and sharing the reports, preventive health <\/span>check-up<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> programs involves a team of expert doctors, consultants and counselors, who provide unparalleled guidance to the probable problems and outcomes of the tests, and the available solutions to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><b>How are the preventive health checkups done? <\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Preventive health checkup usually consists of two steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; In this step, the medical practitioner looks for signs and symptoms of a disease, based on which certain screening tests are recommended to the patient. The results of a screening test are considered to be \u201cpositive\u201d if signs of the disease are found, and \u201dnegative\u201d if no signs of the disease are found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; The second step involves undertaking more sensitive tests to provide accuracy to the diagnosis. This is only done if the first step reveals any abnormal findings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><b>Are preventive health examinations worth the extra effort and time?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to a study conducted, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/labs\/test\/tax-saver-health-check-32206?utm_source=labtest&amp;utm_medium=articles&amp;utm_campaign=taxsaver\"><strong>General Health checks<\/strong><\/a> did not reduce morbidity or mortality, neither overall nor for cardiovascular or cancer causes. However, they increased the number of new diagnoses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Research says that the percentage of patients opting for preventive health checkups and subsequent screenings was about three times higher than those opting for basic health checkups. This led to the timely diagnosis of life-threatening diseases like cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ailments that arise during the later stages of the life may threaten the longevity of a person. A preventive health checkup program, thus, promises to indicate any probable risk of a disease at an early stage. This ensures a timely treatment, without any further delay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><b>How reliable are the preventive health checkups?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The screening tests performed as a part of the preventive health check-up programs does not necessarily \u201cprevent\u201d a disease. It, rather, points towards the percentage of the risk factor associated with an illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A screening program can only be considered to be a \u201cpreventive\u201d measure since it aims to determine and analyze any risk factors or detect and treat any abnormal changes that could later develop into a disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An example of this is\u00a0endoscopy of a bowel, which makes it possible to detect and remove any intestinal polyps, quite common in elderly. The existence of any such polyps could lead to probable cancer during the later stages of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mortality rate due to age-related life-threatening diseases can, therefore, be reduced by timely diagnosis and treatment, thus, reducing the pace of ongoing degenerative process in the body in a healthy manner.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ageing.jpg\" alt=\"How To Ensure Happy And Healthy Ageing\" title=\"How To Ensure Happy And Healthy Ageing?\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[263],"class_list":["post-31862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-well","tag-elderly-care"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How To Ensure Happy And Healthy Ageing? - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ageing is a natural phenomenon and an inevitable truth of every individual\u2019s life.
