Medical checkups are routine visits to a healthcare provider to assess a person's overall health. During these appointments, doctors may perform physical examinations, review medical history, and order tests to detect any potential health issues. Regular checkups help in early diagnosis and prevention of diseases, ensuring that individuals maintain good health. These checkups can vary in frequency based on age, health status, and risk factors. For example, children may have more frequent visits, while adults might see their doctor annually. Common components of a checkup include measuring blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body mass index (BMI).
