Chronic diseases are one of the primary causes of death across the globe. Due to the dormant nature of symptoms, they're extremely difficult to detect as soon as they start impacting a patient's life. Some of the most common chronic diseases which cause fatalities include diabetes, heart attack, stroke, lung disease, Alzheimer's disease and cancer.

These diseases exhibit the symptoms gradually. The slow onset carries with itself a prolonged reduced quality of life along with a rapidly weakening body. Even before the diseases are detected, they can hinder a patient’s coping ability, resulting in mental ailments such as depression.

One of the most effective ways to limit the impact of diseases and the resulting complications is routine care involving clinical preventive strategies.

Preventative health care acts as an intervention mechanism between the contraction of illness and the occurrence of the symptoms. It helps with screening the root cause of the condition at the earliest to receive effective treatment with faster recovery.

Some of the advantages of acquiring preventative care before the onset of diseases are:

• Extension of lifespan 
• Lowered long-term expenses of disease management 
• Enhancement of quality of life 
• Management of genetic conditions 
• Prevention with a healthy lifestyle
   

Experts recommend full body check-advance tests to implement these preventative strategies and ensure the optimum health of the patient. It is suggested to undergo once every year for patients above 50 and once every three years for younger individuals.
