was wird beim check-up ab 50 gemacht — what can you do yourself?

A check-up for people over 50 typically includes blood pressure, lipid panel, blood glucose, complete blood count, urinalysis, and screenings for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers (e.g., colorectal cancer screening starting at 50). What you can do yourself: maintain regular exercise, a Mediterranean-style diet, weight management, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol. Consumer tests (e.g., MyBody-X hormone or DNA tests) may offer insights but are not diagnostic and have limited evidence (marketing-level). The most evidence-based self-care is adhering to routine medical screenings and a healthy lifestyle. If you experience fatigue, weight changes, or low libido, consult a doctor rather than relying solely on at-home tests.
