Special screening packages for people over 65

2024. November 27.

As we age, it is especially important to undergo regular screening tests, as these help to identify potential diseases and risk factors in a timely manner. Dr. Rose Private Hospital has developed two screening packages to help older people get a full check-up. Our Senior screening package focuses on health problems that often occur in people over 65, with special emphasis on hearing, vision, bone health, the condition of the cardiovascular system, as well as assessing brain function and dementia, our Dementia Prevention program assesses patients’ current mental/intellectual state, uses complex diagnostic tests to identify individual risk factors for developing dementia, and creates a personalized prevention plan.

Dementia Prevention Program

Dementia is a syndrome characterized by mental decline, degeneration, and ultimately dementia, i.e., a retrogression from a certain cognitive and intellectual level. It is caused by the progression of a serious brain disease that impairs memory, thinking, orientation, understanding, recognition and calculation skills, thus changing both personality and behavior. Dementia typically affects people over 60 years of age, but it can occur at a younger age. The main risk factor for dementia is old age, but certain chronic diseases – such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney failure, obesity and other metabolic and hormonal diseases – can increase the likelihood of developing dementia, however the development of dementia is also closely linked to lifestyle.

To whom do we recommend our Dementia Prevention Program?

  • Anyone who is concerned about their mental/intellectual state and/or has high risk factors for developing dementia.
  • ​​Those who have one or both parents or any close relative with memory problems/dementia.

What tests does the Dementia Prevention Program include?

  • Complete internal medical history and physical examination, including ECG
  • Detailed assessment of mental and memory functions
