welche untersuchungen ab 50 — what are common causes?

After age 50, recommended screenings include blood pressure and cholesterol checks, blood glucose tests (diabetes), colorectal cancer screening (colonoscopy), skin cancer checks, and for men prostate exams, for women mammography. Eye and hearing tests are also advised. Common causes of health issues at this age are cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders (e.g., type 2 diabetes), joint degeneration, and cancers. Genetic tests (e.g., for FTO or TCF7L2) can indicate small risk increases but are not diagnostic. Evidence for many home tests is weak (marketing/unclear). A comprehensive medical evaluation remains essential.
