45 - 49 Year Old Health Check

 

 

If you are aged between 45 - 49 years old and are at risk of a chronic condition you may be eligible for a free health check-up.

 

These health assessments are for patients that our doctors believe are at risk of developing a chronic disease due to the identification of specific risk factor(s).

A health assessment in these years can promote necessary changes to lifestyle, delaying or avoiding the onset of chronic disease.

Risk Factors for chronic disease include:
 

• High cholesterol

• Alcohol use

• Excess weight

• Physical inactivity

• Smoking

• Poor nutrition

• High blood pressure

• Impaired glucose metabolism

• A family history of a chronic disease (asthma, cardiovascular disease, mental health condition, arthritus, cancer, diabetes mellitus etc.)

 

The health check incorporates
 

• A patient history
   

• Any necessary physical investigations and examinations
   

• An overall assessment of the patient’s health
   

• Evaluation of the patient’s willingness to make changes to their lifestyle
   

• Advice and information as well as strategies to achieve these behavioural and lifestyle changes;
   

• A record of the health assessment, and the offer of a written report including any recommendations
