Medical check ups come in different varieties. We mean studies for disease in people who have no complaints and have no increased risk of disease.

Screening 

A screening is a large group of people examined for a serious illness, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stress or depression.

A screening can detect these diseases at an early stage and therefore frequently deal better. But screening also have disadvantages:

-Most people under investigation have no health problems. And often no increased risk of that disease. As a result, there is little chance that the screening is a benefit for you.

-A screening may be deviations are found which actually have no meaning. For example, a blood level which is different than in other people. Many people have this kind of defects, without being sick. Yet then offered specialist examination to see if there is something going on. It is almost always a false alarm. However, these follow-up studies do provide stress and they cost a lot of money.

-Finally, it is known that the results of screening tests are not always accurate. So if you are under the screening has a (serious) deviation, which results should be checked. For this purpose, a new, expensive research. If there is nothing true, the outcome of the screening was 'false positive'. Meanwhile, you have a long time been concerned about your health.
