Importance

Why are regular health checkups important?

In Her Health Check: Why Are Health Checks Important? the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (JH) elaborate on:

Women’s Health 65+“Regular health checks can help identify health problems early, when you have a better chance of treating and managing them. They can also help you monitor existing health issues.

You will need different health checks throughout your life, depending on your age, risk factors, medical background and family history. Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to have regular health checks”.2

After Menopause

What is it important to note about health after menopause?

In Menopause: What Is Postmenopause? the JH note:

“It’s important to look after your health after menopause. Menopause, ageing or a combination of both increases your risk of developing certain health conditions”.3

Health Checks

What health checks may women require?

In Health Checks For Your Age: Which Health Checks Should You Do? the JH explain:

“You’ll need different health checks throughout your life, depending on your:

  • Age
  • Risk factors
  • Medical background
  • Family history”.4

Ask your health care providers about regular:

  • Annual well woman check
  • Blood pressure check
  • Blood sugar test
  • Blood test
  • Body mass index check
  • Bone density scan
  • Bowel cancer screening
  • Breast cancer screening

  • Cervical screening
  • Cholesterol test
  • Dental check
  • Eye check
  • Falls check
  • Hearing check
  • Heart check
  • Skin check
  • Vaccination review

Health Care Provider

If I feel fine, do I still need regular checkups?

In Health Screenings for Women Age 65 and Older: Information the (United States) MedlinePlus elaborate on:

“Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions”.5
