The New Year, the Year of the Golden Dragon, has just begun. I believe that many people have made many resolutions that must be accomplished within this year. And of course Turning to serious health care for ourselves and our loved ones. It is definitely on the list of many Thai people. Today, Dr. Warisara Khancharoen, general practitioner, health center, Wimut Hospital Let’s invite everyone to have a health check for the new year. Ready to reveal a checklist of effective health care and lifestyle modifications that can be easily followed to keep away from disease. We will be healthy and fit for our age. Ready to receive good things in life all year long.
‘Cardiovascular disease’ is the number one threat that kills Thai people in 2023.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Health has revealed that Thailand has more than 70,000 deaths per year from cardiovascular disease, or an average of 8 deaths per hour. It is one of the chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or behavioral diseases that Thai people are increasingly at risk of developing because factors that cause this disease include increasing age. High blood pressure High blood fat, diabetes, having a body mass index (BMI) above the threshold, and smoking, etc. When the doctor finds that the patient has these risks It is recommended to adjust eating habits, rest and exercise regularly. to control weight Fat and sugar levels To return to normal To reduce the risk of NCDs that sometimes do not show clear symptoms. But it can be life-threatening.”
“The unfortunate thing is There are still many Thai people who have never come for a health check. Whether it’s a blood draw, an X-ray, or seeing a doctor to ask regarding annual health problems. which often Until the disease is detected The symptoms are so severe that they are difficult to treat,” Dr. Warissara Panchacharoen added.
Have a health check every year – create a healthy lifestyle. Simple tips to stay away from NCDs.
Annual health examinations are very necessary for people of all ages. Not just the elderly Because it is a screening test for diseases that may not yet show symptoms. But the risk can be assessed from blood results, urine results, x-ray results, or ultrasound results. Including finding normality from a physical examination, finding BMI values, and asking regarding health problems by a doctor. After the health examination The doctor will discuss the test results. Ready to provide useful advice on monitoring future risks. It is considered preventative health care. Which is very important in creating good, sustainable health. “Another tip for checking your health and seeing a doctor is: Providing detailed information to the examining physician, such as congenital diseases and regular medications Family history of illness, smoking, drinking alcohol or abnormalities that have occurred in the past So that doctors can diagnose and treat diseases with accuracy and safety. In addition, if it is found that you have or are at risk of having NCDs such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high blood fats. Patients need to adjust their lifestyle. Whether it is moderate intensity exercise such as brisk walking 150 minutes a week, including reducing foods such as starches, sugar, high sodium foods, and adding vegetables, whole grains, and low-sugar fruits to meals, etc.,” Dr. Warisara Phaphancharoen said.
Look at health examinations that are appropriate according to your age.
For all ages The doctor recommended a blood test to check the completeness of the blood cells. Blood sugar levels, blood lipids, liver-kidney function Urine test and chest x-ray To detect basic abnormalities of the body For women aged 25 years and older, a cervical exam should be combined with a cervical cancer screening every 2-3 years. Women aged 40 years and older should be screened for breast cancer every year. Men aged 40 and over should begin screening for prostate cancer. In addition, men and women aged 45 and over should begin screening for colon cancer. And check once more every 10 years, and at age 65 you should start measuring your bone mineral density. To prevent osteoporosis early on
“In addition to the annual health check according to age, Don’t forget to take your children and adults at home to get all necessary vaccinations to build immunity, such as the 4 strains of influenza vaccine that must be repeated every year. Or the vaccine to prevent 9 strains of cervical cancer, which can be injected from the age of 9, because taking care of your health in the New Year is an important gift that we can give to ourselves and our loved ones.”
