Your expert guide to a health check-up by age

What exams to expect at every life stage – from your 20s to your 70s and beyond

At MedEx, we believe in preventive care that fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re just starting to think about getting an annual check-up or managing chronic conditions, knowing what health screenings you need—and when—is one of the smartest steps you can take.

We offer personalised health check-up packages and lab tests for every age, both in-clinic and from the comfort of your home.

🩺 In Your 20s & 30s: Building a healthy foundation

This is the perfect time to establish a baseline for your health and start regular screenings.

Recommended tests & check-ups:

• Annual physical exam (weight, blood pressure, heart/lung check)
• Basic blood work: CBC, cholesterol, liver & kidney function, fasting glucose
• STD & HIV testing
• Pap smear & HPV screening (for women, every 3 years or as advised)
• Mental health screening
• Breast/testicular awareness and self-exams
  

Why it matters: Early detection of issues like high cholesterol, thyroid imbalance, or STDs leads to easier treatment and long-term wellness.

🔄 In Your 40s: Staying ahead of risk factors

Your 40s are when chronic disease risks often begin to emerge. Regular monitoring is key.

Recommended tests & check-ups:

• Full health check-up with comprehensive lab work
• Lipid panel, uric acid, HbA1c (diabetes check), thyroid function
• Eye exam – check for vision changes or early signs of glaucoma
• Mammogram (women – typically starts at age 40, every 1–2 years)
• Prostate exam (men – start at 45–50 depending on risk factors)
• Heart risk screening: ECG, blood pressure, cholesterol
  

Why it matters: Many conditions are silent in early stages—regular check-ups can help you stay in control of your health.

💪 In Your 50s & 60s: Prevention & early detection

These years are about monitoring age-related changes and staying active and independent.

Recommended tests & check-ups:

• Comprehensive annual physical & lab tests
• Colonoscopy (starting at age 50)
• Bone density scan (especially for post-menopausal women)
• Hearing test
• Repeat mammograms & prostate screenings as needed
  

Why it matters: Early screening helps prevent complications and ensures you can keep doing the things you love.

👵 In Your 70s and beyond: Supporting healthy aging

The focus shifts to quality of life, mobility, and managing chronic health.

Recommended tests & check-ups:

• Geriatric health assessment – includes physical, mental, and nutritional review
• Cognitive screening – for memory and mental clarity
• Vision and hearing checks
• Fall risk & bone strength evaluation
• Vaccination review (flu, pneumonia, shingles, etc.)
  

Why it matters: With proactive care, many seniors continue living full, independent lives well into their 80s and beyond.
