Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, responsible for one in every four deaths each year in the U.S. A Heart Health Risk Assessment helps you stay on top of any potential problems. For those with a family history or other risk factors, such as high cholesterol, expanded testing is recommended.
Roughly 4.5 million adults have been diagnosed with chronic liver disease, and 2.4 million live with hepatitis C. Since the liver is essential for food digestion and ridding the body of toxins, it’s important to properly diagnose any potential problems. Early detection is particularly important for those susceptible to liver damage due to obesity, alcohol use, viruses, or a family history of liver disease. Routine testing can reduce the possibility of liver failure.
Thyroid disease affects an estimated 20 million people in the U.S. Of these, roughly 60% are unaware that they have a problem. Between 1975 and 2013, the number of thyroid cancer cases tripled, making it essential to get regular thyroid testing. Testing helps prevent an under- or over-active thyroid from developing, reducing the risk of a serious, and even life-threatening health issue.
Being proactive about your health and actively monitoring it is essential for men throughout every phase of life. The Men’s Health exam helps you take control by shedding light on your general health, including your heart and liver, and how possible hormonal imbalances can start to affect your mood, energy, muscle mass, weight, and sex drive. If you’ve noticed these symptoms, the Men’s Health exam may help to pinpoint the problem. This exam provides significant insight into existing deficiencies and their possible treatment, helping you regain your health and vitality.
Being proactive about your health and actively monitoring it is essential for women throughout every phase of life. The Women’s Health exam helps you take control by shedding light on your general health, including your heart, liver, and thyroid, and how possible hormonal imbalances can lead to physical symptoms such as bloating, weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, low sex drive, infertility, hot flashes, and a host of other unpleasant symptoms.
Good bone health is essential for protecting vital organs such as the brain and heart. However, osteoporosis and other diseases can cause bones to weaken and become brittle. Understanding your current bone health is the first step toward preventing a lasting, and potentially serious health issue. This exam is particularly important for those with previous bone concerns, prolonged corticosteroid use, a history of early menopause, or a family history of osteoporosis.
According to the CDC, millions of sexually transmitted diseases occur annually in the U.S., and many of these go undetected. Those between the ages of 13 and 64, who are sexually active, should receive regular testing for HIV and other STDs. Pregnant women, those who share injection drug equipment, those who have unprotected sex, and gay or bisexual men should be tested every three to six months. While most STDs are easily treated, some may result in life-altering complications like infertility when left untreated.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health suggests that obesity is responsible for 18% of all deaths in the U.S. For this reason, gaining a better understanding of the conditions and risks associated with your current weight can be a real lifesaver. Regular testing is especially important for those with a current weight problem or a family history of diabetes.
Fatigue is a common symptom of many health problems, including iron deficiency anemia. Left untreated, anemia can lead to serious complications, such as heart failure, an increased risk of infections, depression, developmental delays in children, and pregnancy complications in women. Fortunately, when caught early, iron deficiency anemia is easily treated.
Preventive care is particularly important for teens and young adults, as it sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Even more important, routine testing can catch any potential health concerns at their earliest and most treatable stages. For this age group, regular blood work, urinalysis, cholesterol, and a complete metabolic panel can provide valuable insight into life-prolonging healthcare choices.
Monitoring your child’s health on a regular basis helps ensure that she or he is developing normally. It also catches any minor health concerns before they become more serious. Routine Kids’ Health testing includes a complete blood count, blood pressure check, urinalysis, and a cholesterol/lipid panel to help you keep your child on the path to optimal growth and development.
