I'm curious about how many X-rays are too many for someone. I've had about 610 X-rays by the time I turned 32. Could this amount lead to cancer if I get more in the future?

I recently did a full-body check-up and got an X-ray as part of it. I don't have any symptoms or anything, but I'm having trouble understanding the X-ray results. Is there anything unusual I should be aware of, or is everything normal? I'm just a bit curious and want to make sure there's nothing to worry about.
