5 Health Checkups You Should Avoid After 70 That May Harm You More Than Help | Doctor Explains

Описание: Many adults over 70 believe that more medical testing automatically means better health. But modern research tells a more complicated story. In this video, a board-certified doctor explains five health checkups you should avoid after 70 because they may do more harm than good.

As the body ages, the balance between benefit and risk changes. Medical tests that were once helpful earlier in life can sometimes lead to overdiagnosis, unnecessary treatments, anxiety, and serious complications in older adults. This is especially true when tests are ordered routinely rather than based on clear symptoms.

In this science-based discussion, Dr. Laura Simmons walks through the health checkups you should avoid after 70, explaining how certain scans and screenings can trigger a cascade of follow-up procedures that do not improve quality of life or longevity. You will learn why bone density scans, brain imaging for mild memory issues, cardiac stress tests, invasive colon screening, and full-body scans often create unintended harm in seniors.

This video is not about avoiding doctors or ignoring medical care. It is about informed decision-making. Understanding which health checkups you should avoid after 70 empowers you to ask better questions, weigh risks versus benefits, and protect your independence and well-being.

Watch until the end to learn how to approach medical testing wisely, what safer alternatives may exist, and how to advocate for personalized care that truly supports healthy aging.
