健康檢查最主要的目的是早期發現、早期治療,尤其是平常不容易察覺的輕微病變。若等到生病再求醫,通常病灶已經大到足以引起身體上的痛覺反應,甚至器官功能,導致身體消瘦,就失去健檢的意義。

In the United Kingdom, the examination remains unpopular with the general populace.[1] [2]
The term is generally not meant to include visits for the purpose of newborn checks, Pap smears for cervical cancer, or regular visits for people with certain chronic medical disorders (for example, diabetes).[3]The general medical examination generally involves a medical history, a (brief or complete) physical examination and sometimes laboratory tests. Some more advanced tests include ultrasound and mammography.
