Chronic diseases are characterized by long course, complex etiology, serious health damage and social harm. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage of chronic diseases. Some patients are difficult to detect in the early stage, and traditional detection is extremely difficult to detect. Once detected, most of them are in the middle and late stage.

This brings certain difficulties to the early control of chronic diseases. Regular physical examination can detect potential chronic diseases as early as possible and take appropriate preventive measures. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive physical examination every year to achieve early detection, early prevention and early treatment.
