Smart health check to protect health

        Many people neglect to check on weekdays because of chaotic work and rest or work pressure. They often wait until the red light is on, but it is too late. Therefore, it is very important to develop regular health checks. This issue introduces you to common health examination items and high-risk groups that need special attention.

        Shaohua, a senior Admiralty emperor, fainted suddenly on September 14 and was sent to hospital for first aid. He lived 68 years. It is reported that he has three high diseases, such as diabetes. After forensic examination, it is believed that the most direct cause is cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If a person falls suddenly and does not suck the heart beat, it is clinically defined as sudden death. It may be myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism or obstruction of basal arteries and arteries (causing brain stem stroke). Among them, myocardial infarction is prone to chest tightness, chest pain and sudden death. Aortic dissection will cause sudden chest pain combined with limb weakness or unclear consciousness. Pulmonary embolism will cause sudden breathlessness, chest tightness, fainting and sudden death. Brainstem stroke is sudden death due to the sudden blockage of the largest posterior circulation in the brain and the inhibition of suction center.

                Taking advantage of the recent slowdown of the epidemic, I remind you not to forget to make an appointment for health examination, especially for people with chronic diseases or family history of cancer.

        Cardiovascular system

        Modern people often eat out. They not only eat too much high calorie, salty and oily food, but also lack fruits and vegetables. In terms of work and rest, they lack exercise, resulting in abnormal blood pressure, blood glucose and blood fat. The global population of overweight and abdominal obesity is also increasing day by day. If you often socialize and smoke or drink too much, it will accelerate the deterioration of health.

        In fact, among the top ten causes of death in Taiwan, cardiovascular diseases have always ranked second, second only to cancer, and the largest among chronic diseases. Therefore, if older (male >45 years), family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia are all high risk groups of cardiovascular disease, more attention should be paid to the prevention and screening of cardiovascular diseases.

                Liver and gallbladder

        According to the statistics of the Ministry of health and welfare, there are 3 million hepatitis B carriers in China. The chance of these carriers suffering from liver cancer is much higher than that of ordinary people. The mortality rate of liver cancer has always ranked among the top two causes of cancer death in Taiwan in recent ten years, of which about 80% are hepatitis B carriers and 10% are chronic hepatitis C infections Hepatitis C virus infection is the main cause of liver cancer in Chinese people. Therefore, this part of the population needs to strengthen screening and prevention. In addition, everyone must have heard the advertisement "the liver is a silent organ", so people who often socialize and drink, work overtime and stay up late, and have abnormal eating habits should pay special attention to the condition of liver function. If there are abnormal conditions such as high liver index (got / GPT) and fatty liver in the health examination report, seek medical treatment as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible.

        The recommended health examination items for preventing common diseases are as follows:

                "Health is a habit", which needs to be practiced. The earlier the habit of regular health examination can be formed and matched with a healthy lifestyle, the easier it will be to have health.
