Senior Health Checkup (50+)
Comprehensive Age-Specific Health Screening
Senior Health Screening at TEKlaB Laboratory
After age 50, preventive health screening becomes essential. Our Senior Health Checkup is specifically designed to detect age-related conditions early, when they're most treatable.
Age 50+ Comprehensive Panel Includes
Diabetes Screening
Fasting glucose, HbA1c - risk increases significantly after 50
Cardiovascular Panel
Lipid profile, hs-CRP, homocysteine - heart disease prevention
Cancer Markers
PSA (men), CA 125 (women), CEA, AFP - early detection screening
Bone Health
Calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus - osteoporosis risk assessment
Thyroid Function
TSH, T3, T4 - metabolism and energy regulation
Kidney Function
Creatinine, urea, eGFR, urine analysis - kidney health monitoring
Liver Function
ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin - liver health assessment
Vitamin Panel
Vitamin D, B12, folate - immune function, bone, cognitive health
Why Annual Screening After 50 is Critical
- Diabetes risk doubles - 1 in 4 Moroccans over 50 has diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease - Leading cause of death in seniors
- Cancer screening - Early detection dramatically improves outcomes
- Bone health - Osteoporosis prevention, especially in women
- Cognitive function - Vitamin B12 deficiency affects memory
- Kidney disease - Often silent until advanced stages
Health Statistics for Morocco 50+
