Check-up by age group

Each stage of life has its own physiological characteristics. As a person gets older, regular check-ups become more important in order to prevent serious diseases.

The World Health Organization recommends undergoing an annual check-up regardless of gender or age. Even if a patient has no complaints, preventive screening is crucial.

Features of the procedure in global clinics

Pediatric check-up (ages 1-17) 

A child’s health is a top priority for every family. The child’s body is undergoing rapid growth and organ development, which is why pediatric check-ups include additional examinations such as:

• Consultations with an orthopedic specialist, surgeon, and neurologist
• Blood tests for phosphorus, calcium, and vitamin D

Check-up (ages 18-39)

Reproductive health is a priority in this age group as it determines fertility, pregnancy and childbirth. Both men and women need regular health checks. After the age of 25, the secretion of somatotropin (growth hormone) decreases and the body begins a gradual aging process.

Key components of a check-up in reproductive age:

• Urological and gynecological examinations (sexually transmitted infections, smears, hormonal panel)
• Pelvic ultrasound

Check-up (ages 40-65)

Check-ups in this age set primarily focus on the early detection and prevention of malignancies. Diagnostic procedures include:

• Tumor markers (PSA, CA-125)
• Holter monitoring (24-hour ECG) and stress testing (bicycle ergometry)
• Mammography
• Testing for osteoporosis
• Doppler ultrasound of the heart vessels

Senior check-up (ages 65+)

A highly qualified geriatric physician makes the examination plan based on the patient’s individual needs. Specialized tests for older adults include:

• Mobility and fall risk assessment
• Gait speed test
• Balance evaluation
• Cognitive function screening
• Medication safety assessment
