Advanced Age Check-Up Program

As people age, the likelihood of certain health conditions increases. Diseases such as Alzheimer’s, heart failure, high cholesterol, hypertension, and osteoporosis become more common with advancing age. The Advanced Age Check-Up Program is designed to comprehensively evaluate the overall health status of older individuals and to manage age-related health risks.

Examinations in the Advanced Age Check-Up Program:
The program includes specific examinations focused on age-related health needs:

• General Check-Up Examination: A comprehensive health screening to assess the individual’s overall health condition.
  
• Urology Examination (for Men): Focuses on prostate and reproductive health in men, which is essential for early diagnosis and treatment.
  
• Gynecology Examination (for Women): Evaluates reproductive health and age-related health risks in women.
  
• Geriatrics Examination: Specifically assesses the health status of older adults, identifying conditions related to aging and preventive measures to enhance quality of life.
  
• Cardiology Examination: Assesses cardiovascular health and helps manage potential heart risks.

Cardiology Tests:
Cardiology tests are conducted to evaluate heart health and identify potential risks:

• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Measures the heart’s electrical activity, providing information on rhythm disturbances and heart health.
  
• EKG Doppler: Assesses blood flow and vascular health.
  
• EKG Test: Provides a detailed evaluation of heart function and overall heart health.

Radiological Examinations:
Radiological imaging methods help detect age-related diseases early:

• Chest X-Ray: Assesses lung health and identifies potential lung conditions.
  
• Complete Abdominal Ultrasound (USG): Examines the general condition of abdominal organs, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas.
  
• Mammography: Conducted to assess breast health in women, primarily used to screen for breast cancer.
  
• Bone Density Measurement: Measures bone density to assess bone health and osteoporosis risk.
  
• Carotid Doppler Ultrasound (RDUS): Examines the carotid arteries in the neck to evaluate blood flow and vascular health.

Laboratory and Pathological Tests:
Laboratory and pathological tests are conducted to identify conditions like diabetes, cancer, and prostate diseases:

• Laboratory Tests: Includes blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, and kidney function tests.
• Pathological Tests: Includes specialized screenings such as cancer screening and biopsies.

Respiratory Function Test:
A respiratory function test is performed at regular intervals to monitor lung health and prevent respiratory diseases. This test measures lung capacity and provides crucial information for early diagnosis.

Pathological Examinations:
Special examinations are conducted for specific conditions:

• Cytopathology: Examines cells under a microscope to detect cancer and other pathological conditions.
• Thin-Prep: A test used exclusively for women to screen for cervical cancer.

The Advanced Age Check-Up Program provides a comprehensive health assessment for older adults, focusing on early diagnosis and preventive measures to improve the quality of life and support healthy aging.
