Health examinations for middle-aged and elderly individuals typically involve blood draws and biochemical tests, including urinalysis, complete blood count (CBC), and stool routine examination. These tests can detect conditions such as urinary tract infections, systemic infections, or proteinuria. Imaging studies—such as chest X-rays—may also be performed to promptly identify pulmonary infections or nodules. Additionally, internal and surgical physical examinations—including auscultation of the heart and lungs and abdominal palpation—can be conducted.
