Age-related screening tests

Determination of basic adult status at the age of 21

a) updating family medical history, with particular attention to coronary heart disease, atherosclerotic stroke, and arterial stenosis among parents and siblings at an early age (under 55 years for men and under 65 years for women),
b) exploring lifestyle factors (dietary habits, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption),
c) detailed physical examination, determination of body weight, abdominal circumference, height, body mass index, blood pressure measurement,
d) in the case of abdominal obesity (abdominal circumference ≥80 cm for women and ≥94 cm for men), the presence of other components of the metabolic syndrome (triglyceride level, HDL cholesterol level, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose),
e) in persons at high risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (obesity, family history of diabetes mellitus, history of gestational diabetes), an oral glucose tolerance test (assessment of fasting and 120-minute values) or, if this is not feasible, fasting and postprandial blood glucose determination,
f) an assessment of the overall cardiovascular risk***,
g) in persons at high risk of kidney disease (family history of hereditary kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc.), determination of serum creatinine level, estimated creatinine clearance**** urinalysis (with test strip): determination of protein and haematuria,
h) analysis of family medical history for benign and malignant solid tumours and predisposing conditions between parents and siblings under the age of 40 years,
(i) stomato-oncological examination, with particular attention to periodontosis as a predisposing factor for atherosclerosis and to conditions predisposing to cancer of the lip and oral cavity,
j) a vision test.

(a) repeat the tests in points 1(a) to 1(f) every five years in individuals at low cardiovascular risk according to point 1(f),
(b) repeat every two years the tests in points 1(a) to 1(f) in individuals at medium and high cardiovascular risk according to point 1(f),
c) every two years in persons at high risk of kidney disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), determination of serum creatinine, urinalysis (test strip): protein clearance in both sexes, determination of haematuria,
d) stomato-oncological screening every two years.

(c) every two years, in persons at high cardiovascular risk, an examination of the symptoms of non-complaint atherosclerosis (palpation and listening to the peripheral arteries), and determination of the ankle-arm index by ultrasound flow measurement ("mini-Doppler"),
d) every two years in persons at high risk of kidney disease (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), determination of serum creatinine level, estimated creatinine clearance, urinalysis (with test strip): protein clearance, haematuria determination,s
e) stomato-oncological screening every two years,
f)Chest screening every 45 years (lung screening).

d) stomato-oncological screening every two years,
e) annual examination of the sensory organs,
f)46 annual chest screening (lung screening).
Over 65 years of age
