Our health is dependent on a variety of factors, from our lifestyle habits to our gender. If you’re a man, you might be predisposed to certain conditions. The good news is that you can take charge of your health through early detection through health screenings.
To help you understand just why early detection is important, we’ll be going through some of the main health risks for men that screenings can detect, such as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Read on to find out more.
Heart disease isn't selective; it can strike anyone. But certain factors increase the odds,making some men more prone than others:
Generally, men can be prone to type 2 diabetes from their mid-forties. This is largely due to lifestyle factors like diet and physical activity levels.
The prevalence of diabetes is rising globally but particularly In Asia. This suggests we need more proactive health screenings and better education about managing lifestyle habits among men, and women, in this region.
High cholesterol is known as a silent killer because it does not exhibit noticeable symptoms. When it does, high cholesterol is characterised by:
But don’t wait till you exhibit symptoms – if and by the time you do, it could be signs of heart disease or stroke. The only way to detect high cholesterol is through a blood test, which is included in most men’s health screening packages.
Ever wonder why high blood pressure seems to be more prevalent in men? The answer lies in the differences between genders. Men tend to carry more visceral fat around their waist, which is linked to hypertension.
Lifestyle choices play a big part too. Think about excessive salt intake and alcohol consumption; these are not ideal for your arteries. But there's good news. Regular health screening can help detect problems early on.
To put things into perspective, consider this analogy - just as regular servicing helps maintain car performance, consistent health check-ups ensure our bodies run smoothly too.
Smoking is notorious for its harmful effects on health. It's not just about bad breath or yellow teeth; the impact goes much deeper.
The primary villain? Nicotine. This addictive substance found in cigarettes raises your heart rate and blood pressure while narrowing your arteries. Consequently, it starves vital organs of oxygen and nutrients they need to function effectively.
But there's more. Smoking can cause serious, long-term respiratory diseases such as emphysema and bronchitis, in addition to numerous forms of cancer including those affecting the lungs, mouth and throat.
Making the decision to quit isn't easy but necessary for better health outcomes - because nothing feels better than breathing freely.

In Singapore, health screenings are crucial tools to help spot potential health issues early. For men especially, these check-ups can reveal problems that may not have shown symptoms yet.
Besides the conditions mentioned above, health screenings can identify other potential issues and allow you to take preemptive steps. One important factor in this is consistency; regular health screenings increase your chance of early detection through all your life’s different stages.
