A regular check-up is important to prevent and treat diseases.

Some serious conditions (high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure) do not show serious symptoms right away. If not properly controlled, they can lead to fatal complications.

In an annual physical exam, your doctor will be able to determine if your blood pressure, glucose level, and cholesterol level are within normal limits. They will then be able to review your immunization history and medication records (usually for children). It can also check if you are taking the correct dosage of your medications.

An annual physical exam is recommended for people over age 60, either every year or sometimes twice a year.

Adults over 25 years of age can start with a general exam every two or three years, while adolescents should have one every three years or more. Young age reveals greater health for the patient.

In contrast, children visit the doctor quite frequently due to frequent vaccinations and physical examinations, since satisfactory growth requires some monitoring.
