Regular health check-ups up to the age of 30 can lead to the prevention of chronic diseases and help reduce the number of patients requiring medical treatment or surgery, say, doctors. “It is important for youngsters to go for regular health check-ups as it will be helpful to know about the silent risks they carry,” explained Dr Mukesh Budhwani, general physician, Apollo Clinic Pune. Thyroid, liver and kidney problems, diabetes, hypertension, stress, anxiety, depression, indigestion, and migraine are some of the health problems that are inherited. Figuring out these problems at an early stage saves youngsters from bigger diseases or co-morbidities such as diabetes and obesity at a later age.
