For the physical examination of the elderly, you can first make an appointment on the Kangkang Physical Examination Network. The physical examination items for the elderly are as follows:

It is best for the elderly to pay attention to the following seven aspects of examination:

1. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular examination. This is the focus of physical examination for the elderly. Measure blood pressure. One of the causes of coronary heart disease is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is often at its peak and cerebrovascular accidents are prone to occur. Electrocardiogram examination can determine the blood supply to the myocardium, arrhythmia, etc. It is recommended for those who are very old and cannot run on the treadmill. A color B-ultrasound of the heart and a B-ultrasound of the carotid artery can check whether the blood vessels are diseased.

2. Liver, gallbladder, pancreas B-ultrasound and chest X-ray. Liver and gallbladder B-ultrasound can examine the morphology of the liver and gallbladder and detect the presence of liver and gallbladder tumors or gallbladder stones in advance. Because this is a non-invasive examination, seniors can undergo multiple examinations. Chest X-rays can detect tuberculosis and lung cancer early. Elderly people who smoke all year round should have regular chest X-ray examinations. This is the best initial screening method for asymptomatic early lung tumors.

3. Check the fundus. Senile cataracts and primary glaucoma can be detected early. Patients with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and diabetes can check whether the arteries are hardened through fundus examination.

4. Check blood sugar and blood lipids. Elderly people who are obese or suffer from high blood pressure or arteriosclerosis should pay special attention to this, especially the blood sugar level 2 hours after a meal is very revealing.

5. Test bone density. The elderly are prone to osteoporosis, so men over fifty and women over forty-five should have their bone density tested.

6. Gastrointestinal endoscopy. Elderly people over 50 years old, especially elderly men, should be included in the "supplementary list" of physical examination. Gastrointestinal endoscopy can detect some precancerous lesions, such as colorectal polyps, so that they can be removed as soon as possible. In addition, the fecal occult blood test can also detect digestive tract diseases and cancer early.

7. Gynecological examination or prostate examination. Older women, even after menopause, cannot neglect a comprehensive gynecological examination once a year, while men should have a prostate examination.
