Patients, who ALWAYS attended their ANNUAL Health Checkups had lower Systolic Blood Pressure, Fasting Glucose and Total Cholesterol, compared to individuals who only sometimes attended their checkups, according to a study published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine journal in May 2022.
-It was a large study, which included over 9k participants in China.
-Enrolled individuals were either over 65 years old or had hypertension/diabetes.
- The authors concluded: 'A higher frequency of annual health check participation was associated with lower Systolic Blood Pressure, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol.'
