Natural history of disease: Stage of susceptibility→Stage of preclinical disease→Regular health checkups(Adequate intervention, treatment, and lifestyle changes)→Stage of clinical disease.

What is a Health Checkup?

An effective health checkup and disease screening can limit the progress of a disease and improve your quality of life. For example, colonoscopies can reduce the incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer by 70% and 50%, respectively, while Pap smears can reduce the mortality rate of cervical cancer by 59%.

Notes on health checkups

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.
