Wellness exams and screenings help you and your doctor be more aware of your health and risk factors. By becoming aware of your health, you may decide to make changes in your lifestyle now that can prevent heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases later in your life. For children who are constantly growing and developing, a yearly wellness exam is recommended.
The types of tests and screenings you might have to go through will depend on you and your doctor, although there are some common ones that are usually a part of any type of wellness exam:
- Basic measurements for your body, such as weight, height, blood pressure, body mass index, etc.
- Simple vision tests to assess the state of your eyes and overall vision.
- Looking for warning signs of more serious conditions.
