Over 40s Checks

Your over 40s health check at Prema Health will begin with a warm welcome. Our experienced doctors will take a detailed medical history, discussing any current symptoms, family history, lifestyle factors, and concerns you may have. This initial consultation helps us understand your overall health and identify any specific areas that may need attention.

During the health check, several tests and assessments may be conducted to provide a comprehensive picture of your health, including:

Blood pressure measurement – this is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Regular monitoring helps manage and reduce these risks.

Blood tests – these tests can assess cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and kidney and liver function.

Prostate health check – a digital rectal exam (DRE) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test may be performed to screen for prostate issues, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.

Body mass index (BMI) and Waist Circumference – these measurements help assess obesity, which is linked to several health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.

Heart health assessment – depending on your risk factors, an electrocardiogram (ECG) or other heart function tests may be recommended to check for signs of heart disease.

Lifestyle assessment – our doctors will discuss your diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption habits, offering personalised advice to improve your health.

An over 40s health check provides numerous benefits, including early detection and management of potential health issues, personalised health advice, and peace of mind. By identifying risk factors early, you can make informed decisions about your health and take steps to prevent serious conditions. Regular health checks also help you stay motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle, leading to better long-term health outcomes.

At Prema Health, we are committed to supporting you on your journey to optimal health. Our comprehensive over 40s health checks are designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to live a vibrant, healthy life. Taking this proactive step ensures that you are doing everything possible to maintain your health and well-being as you age.

During an over 40’s health check for men at Prema Health, various conditions can be identified and treated. One common condition detected is hypertension, or high blood pressure, which often presents without symptoms but significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Early identification through regular checks allows for effective management through lifestyle changes and medication.

High cholesterol levels are another frequent finding. This can lead to atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed and hardened, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Blood tests help identify this condition early, allowing for dietary adjustments, exercise, and possibly cholesterol-lowering medications.

Diabetes or prediabetes is often diagnosed through blood sugar tests. If left untreated, this can cause severe complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems. Early detection enables better blood sugar control through diet, exercise, and medication.

Early detection of prostate issues allows for timely treatment, which can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.

Obesity and its related complications, such as metabolic syndrome and sleep apnea, are also commonly identified. Managing weight through tailored dietary and exercise plans can mitigate these risks and enhance overall health.

By identifying these conditions early, Prema Health’s over 40’s health check helps men adopt preventive measures and receive appropriate treatments, ultimately promoting long-term health and vitality.
