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

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
