INTRODUCTION
In the contemporary world, the number of 
health conscious people is rising with each 
passing day. These are the people who 
consume healthy foods, maintain their weight, 
perform workouts for at least five days a week, 
stay away from stress, be happy, and do 
whatever is better for their health. 
In spite of a rise in the number of health 
conscious people, there are some people who 
are not very serious about their health and 
have never gone through a normal health 
checkup. As per the National Centre for Health 
Statistics, the USA has approximately 26 people 
out of 100 without any regular health source. 
The data for such people is higher in developing 
countries like India.
Regular health checkup is today’s need. It helps 
you know the actual status of your overall health. 
With it, you can detect a disease or a bad health 
condition as it starts developing in your body and 
cure the same with the best respective treatment. 
Here are the 10 best health checkups you (men 
and women) should have on a regular basis:
Blood Pressure Test

Stress & depression BMI (Body mass index)

01.
Blood 
Pressure 
Test 
The blood pressure reading around 120/80 mm Hg 
is ideal. As you cross 20 years in your life, you 
should check your blood pressure at least once in 
every two year period. 
You should have an annual blood pressure test as 
you turn 40. In the case of any abnormal feeling, 
you should check it instantly. 
You should get this test done to know whether your 
blood pressure is normal, low, or high. Further, it 
may indicate to you the buildup of heart problems. 
The screening results will help you take the 
requisite steps to normalise your blood pressure 
and lower the risks such as hypertension or heart 
strokes associated with it. 
02.
Cholesterol 
checkup 
A cholesterol checkup works as 
a tool to assess your risks for 
the development of heart 
diseases or strokes. Here is 
more on it:
 As per the National Institute of Health, you 
should have a cholesterol checkup once in five 
years if you are under 20. 
 In general, your cholesterol level should be 
lower than 200 milligrams. 
 After crossing 40, you should consult your 
doctor to discuss how often you should have 
this test.    
 In the case of a potential risk of heart 
problems, you should get it done quarterly or 
two times in a year.  
03.
Diabetes 
Test 
Usually, this health issue occurs to old males and 
females. However, diabetes, especially type 1, can 
happen to people at any age. In this health 
condition, there is a rise in the sugar level in your 
blood. Ideally, the sugar or glucose level in blood is 
135/80 mm Hg. 
All health regulatory organisations across the world 
have different opinions on diabetes tests. Some of 
them state that you should have this test every 3 
year before turning 45 and once a year after that. 
While some of them advise you to get this test 
done when you feel a need for it. 
Diabetes is a slow killer and increases the risks for 
several health issues. So, you should get it done 
twice a year if you can afford the test. Otherwise, 
you should have this test once a year as you cross 
40. 
04.
Lipid 
You should get this test done to 
lower your dyslipidemia 
symptoms. It is essential for you 
when you are prone to 
triglycerides, and high blood 
cholesterol value. With it, you can 
lower your risks for heart 
diseases, high blood pressure, and 
diabetes. 
05.
Stress Test 
In the current fast-paced world, most of you are 
stressed at any level. You feel stress to do better 
in your daily life, work, or business. Having a 
little of it is good. However, you need to take 
steps to lower its level or cure it if it starts 
interrupting your normal life activities. 
A stress test will help you know your stress level. 
And you should get it done when you are too 
tense or you have interruptions in your normal 
life. 
Such a test usually evaluates the level of 
cortisol, a hormone responsible for measuring 
the use of glucose by your brain.knowing the 
level will encourage you to meditate or practise 
relaxing techniques.    
06.
BMI (Body 
mass index)
It is the test that you should shave frequently. 
Through your BMI or body mass index, you will 
know whether you are underweight, or 
overweight or you have a normal body weight. 
It will assist you to take action to lose your 
weight if you are overweight and gain weight if 
you are underweight. 
Regular BMI screening, which you can do 
yourself, will help you lower your health risks 
like obesity and diabetes. 
07.
Kidney 
Kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs that lie 
behind your belly on either side of your spine below 
your ribs. They filter blood and remove toxins and 
wastes out of your body and maintain fluid balance. 
They need to function well to keep you healthy and 
fit. 
Kidney function test or KFT is the evaluation of your 
kidneys and finds whether they are functioning well 
or not. Usually, this test includes a urine test, a 
blood test, or both. 
You must have this test when you notice blood in 
your urine, pain while urinating, and problems 
before you start urinating. 
The test results will help you prescribe medicines 
to ease your problems and advise the most suitable 
treatment to stop having kidney failure.   
08.
Liver 
Function 
Test 
To stay healthy, you need to observe all the 
nutritional elements from the foods you eat. And it 
can happen when your liver functions well and 
digestion is well. Any irregularities in liver function 
can cause heartburn, indigestion, headaches, 
constipation, and liver cancer (in serious cases). 
You should get this test done once a year. In the 
case of having issues like constipation or 
indigestion, you must get it done soon if your 
normal effort to improve your digestion doesn’t 
work for you.
A liver test contains tests on 12 parameters that 
could be alkaline phosphatase, protein, albumin, 
GGT, ALT, SGOT, etc.   
The test results help you to take the requisite 
action to make your liver function well. 
 
09.
Thyroid Test 
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped organ which lies in 
the lower front of your neck. It produces thyroid 
hormones that assist the body to use energy & stay 
warm and facilitate your heart, brain, muscles, and 
other organs work properly. Any irregularities in its 
function can impair your body function balance. 
A thyroid test usually contains tests for TSH, T4, T3, 
thyroid antibody, FT4, and FT3. 
The test results will reveal whether your thyroid 
production is normal, underactive, or overactive.

They have these tests when they notice anything 
abnormal about their heart. Heart screening helps 
them to avoid having heart diseases or strokes.

family history of heart problems. In the case of any 
abnormalcy in the heart, you must get your heart 
health test done.
