The whole year begins with spring. Have you had your health check-up in 2024? A large health examination center in China has compiled the “Top Ten Abnormal Health Examination Items” common among Chinese people in 2023. The analysis found that there are two main culprits behind them, including bad living habits and a polluted or high-pressure living environment. Doctors remind you not to panic when you see a red letter on your health check-up, but don’t ignore it either. Regular check-ups and tracking and maintaining good living habits are the long-term strategies to improve your health.
Lian’an Clinic counted 36,524 records of health check-ups in 2023, and compiled the top ten health check-up abnormality rates as follows: “Hemorrhoids”, “Inflammation, Ulcers”, “Autonomic Nervous Disorders”, “Blood/Vitamin D Abnormalities” “low”, “colon polyps”, “thyroid nodules and cysts”, “fatty liver”, “osteopenia”, “high cholesterol” and “overweight”.
Wang Sende, director of the Department of Family Medicine and Occupational Medicine at Lian An Clinic, pointed out that the causes of the ten abnormal items in health examinations can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category is bad living habits, such as hemorrhoids, gastric ulcers, vitamin D deficiency, large intestine Polyps, thyroid nodules, fatty liver, osteopenia, overweight, and hypercholesterolemia are all related to a static lifestyle of less exercise, lack of sunshine and outdoor exercise, excessive intake of high-calorie foods, and lack of high-fiber diet. It is related to insufficient intake of necessary nutrients, smoking and drinking, etc.
The second category is a polluted or high-pressure living environment. Environmental pollution, high-pressure work and life, etc. may lead to increased risks of autonomic nervous system disorders, gastritis, thyroid nodules, etc.
Wang Sende said that many of the top ten abnormal health check items are the causes of important chronic diseases, and those with related abnormalities should not be cautious. However, following some people have completed their health check-up, they clearly see the red letter, but because they do not feel any discomfort, they ignore the check results and follow-up. This is a misconception! Even minor abnormalities in data may develop into serious illnesses in the future.
Wang Sende suggested that you should not panic when you see a red letter, but do not ignore it, because the red letter indicates abnormal data and is potentially harmful to health. You need the advice of a professional doctor to actively change your daily routine or undergo interventional treatment; if the data falls in the gray area of the marginal value, You don’t necessarily have to suffer from a disease, you can also reduce the risk of disease by actively changing your lifestyle; more importantly, don’t relax even if the test report is normal, because the best screening tool may have its limits and cannot detect the disease in the early stages. Screen it out.
