What\u2019s more, the cost of health checkups can vary depending on the hospital, leaving expats overwhelmed. In this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Prime Hong Kong<\/a> article, we\u2019ll unpick this seemingly straightforward question.<\/p>\n<div class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/compare-quotes\/step-one\/?campSource=PPHK-Blog&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=content_banner&utm_campaign=Blog_Banner&utm_content=single\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1644\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pacificprime.hk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/WP-Banner-revamp-final-20221207_1.-Single-final.jpg?resize=700%2C303&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Individual Health Insurance Plans\" width=\"700\" height=\"303\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2>The basics of health checkups<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/bjgp.org\/content\/68\/666\/e28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study<\/a> by the British Journal of General Practice shows that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On average only 33% of people who could benefit from health checkups are attending them on a regular basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s a low figure &#8211; especially given that health checkups can help individuals detect warning signs and reduce the likelihood of serious health problems. For instance, high blood pressure or cholesterol could be a warning sign for cardiovascular disease. Often, these don\u2019t carry much sign or symptoms, known colloquially as \u201csilent killers\u201d. Especially for expats who are planning to move abroad or are already living abroad, health checkups give you a heads up on your health and an action plan to follow.<\/p>\n<p>If you are classified as a high risk individual, or in other words have characteristics that are prone to develop into serious health conditions, getting health checkups is something that should be at the forefront of your minds. While some of the characteristics are outside of your control like family history or age, others like diet and exercise are things you are able to change. The following infomation provides you with a quick overview of risk factors.<\/p>\n<h3>Modifiable (lifestyle-dependent)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight<\/li>\n<li>Physical activity levels<\/li>\n<li>Sleep quality and stress management<\/li>\n<li>Diet and alcohol consumption<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Non-modifiable<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Age<\/li>\n<li>Gender<\/li>\n<li>Ethnicity<\/li>\n<li>Family history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on the above-mentioned risk factors, the health checkups recommended for you will vary. One of our previous articles on checkups in Hong Kong covers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/blog\/guide-to-health-check-ups-in-hong-kong\/#menu-item-1196:~:text=What%20do%20screening%20packages%20usually%20involve%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what screening packages usually involve<\/a>. You\u2019ll learn about the type of tests you should be taking depending on your age, ranging from those aged 18 to 65 years old. Nevertheless, if you\u2019re in doubt, please discuss this with your medical practitioner as there\u2019s rarely a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to healthcare.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost of health checkups in Hong Kong\u2019s private clinics and hospitals<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s advisable to familiarize yourself with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/blog\/healthcare-system-hong-kong-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthcare system in Hong Kong<\/a>, going as far as looking into the different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/hospitals\/hospital-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hospitals<\/a> in the city-state.
