Lifestyle Specific Health Screening

Lifestyle Specific Health Screening

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Health screening programs that suit your individual lifestyles are like a guide showing you the most appropriate route to good health.
  • Office syndrome does not exclusively affect those of working age but can also be found among the over 50s and retired persons who work to supplement their income.
  • Office syndrome refers to symptoms that arise due to taking up the same working positions repeatedly over an extended period of time. Key symptoms include aches and pains, trigger fingers, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, numbness in the fingers and legs, vision deterioration, as well as underlying stress.

Annual health checkups were previously regarded as being the best way to identify potential risk factors that could ultimately prevent disease. However, the fact that every one of us has a unique lifestyle means the risk factors or health indicators also differ from person to person. If we are able to identify which type of lifestyle we lead alongside the type of work we carry out, it could enable us to understand more about our health and thereby identify the most suitable form of health screening program for our own unique needs.

Office syndrome refers to symptoms that arise due to taking up the same working positions repeatedly over an extended period of time. Key symptoms include aches and pains, trigger fingers, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, numbness in the fingers and legs, vision deterioration as well as underlying stress.

Whatever your lifestyle, you will be able to find a screening program that offers you sustained health alongside early detection of disease.
