Reasons You May Need a Health Assessment
Health Assessments are valuable for addressing a range of health concerns and identifying risks early.
Here are some of the key reasons why you might benefit from a Health Assessment at Tewantin Medical Centre:
Age-Related Health Needs:
Regular check-ups are important as you age, particularly for individuals over 40 to monitor conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease.
Chronic Conditions:
If you’re managing conditions such as asthma, arthritis, or heart disease, assessments can help optimise your treatment plan and improve your quality of life.
Lifestyle-Related Risks:
Assessments can look into risks related to diet, lack of exercise, smoking, or excessive alcohol consumption. We also offer general medicine to help with maintaining and sticking to healthier choices.
Family History of Illness:
If certain conditions like cancer, diabetes, or heart disease run in your family, a Health Assessment can identify early warning signs and provide personalised advice.
Workplace Health Requirements:
Many workplaces, particularly in physically demanding fields, require regular assessments to ensure you are fit for work and aware of any potential health risks.
Please see our Pre-Employment Medical Assessments for more information.
Mental Health:
Health Assessments also include discussions around mental health, stress management, and referrals for additional support if needed.
Life Transitions or Events:
Changes such as pregnancy, menopause, or recovery from illness are excellent times to reassess your health and plan for the future.
Who Might Need a Health Assessment?
Health Assessments are suitable for individuals at various stages of life, including:
- Ages 75 and Over: Supporting your health as you age.
- Ages 45–49: One-time check-ups to identify risks early.
- Ages 40 and Over: Particularly for those at risk of Type 2 diabetes.
