Women: Start Preventive Health Checks Before 40 to Combat Silent Risks

• Silent health changes like bone loss, insulin resistance, and rising blood pressure often begin years before age 40.
• Preventive check-ups focus on course-correction, not fear, by monitoring key indicators like blood pressure, glucose, and lipid profiles.
• Dr Arpit Bansal emphasizes "longevity levers" including bone and muscle health, women-specific screenings (cervical, breast), and new vital signs like VO₂ max and HRV.
• Regular checks for Vitamin D, B12, and early DEXA scans are crucial, along with timely Pap tests/HPV screening and breast awareness.
• Medicine 3.0 advocates early testing and proactive planning to protect bone, muscle, hormonal, heart, and gut health before major issues arise.
