6 blood tests that middle-aged people should not skip:
Cholesterol: Increased #cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The doctor may recommend taking medication to prevent a clot from forming.
Sugar: Persistent thirst, fatigue and frequent urination are classic signs of #diabetes. The measurement of #sugar is deemed necessary for early detection and more effective management of the condition.
Uric acid: Gout is the result of the accumulation of #uric_acid in the blood and is manifested by severe pain in the joints, especially in the big toe. A simple blood test detects if uric acid levels are above normal.
Vitamin D: Lack of #vitamin_D is linked to #osteoporosis, increased fracture risk, dementia, etc. Some people experience muscle weakness or bone pain, and a doctor may recommend taking a supplement.
Thyroid disease: Women after the age of 50 are more prone to #thyroid disorders and specifically #hypothyroidism. A simple blood test can indicate hypothyroidism or #hyperthyroidism.
Vitamin B12: #vitamin_B12 plays a very important role in the production of red #blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body, but also in the functioning of the brain. Typical symptoms of B12 deficiency are fatigue, decreased appetite and frequent headaches.
A simple #blood_test can ensure a patient between the ages of 40 and 60 a better prognosis and avoid serious complications.
