A health examination is just like a regular check-up of a car in order to repair and replace faulty parts in a timely manner. Because of the advancements of healthcare technology and lifestyle changes, the average life expectancy of Taiwanese people has increased. However, it does not guarantee physical health. Preventive actions and regular health examinations are the only means to achieve healthy aging and own a dignified life. There is no consensus so far on the frequency for a person to receive a health examination. The National Health Insurance Administration recommends health examination once every three years for adults over the age of 40, while annually for adults over the age of 65. However, taking baseline health condition, family history and domestic epidemiology into consider, receiving health examination once every one to two years would be recommended to well-managed your own health condition.

All subjects undergoing health checkups are reminded that even though screenings can effectively diagnose a disease in advance and reduce its threat to your health, all examination items and medical instrument-based screenings do not have full sensitivity to various diseases. In addition, due to the diversity of the individual characteristics and health statuses of subjects, it is impossible to fully diagnose every disease.

Furthermore, after receiving a checkup, it is recommended that you receive follow-ups or treatment according to the doctor's recommendations, adjust your daily lifestyle, and avoid risk factors that may affect your health, so as to achieve the fullest potential of healthcare management and preventive medicine.
