Senior Citizen Health Checkup in Gurugram: Which Tests Matter After 60

After 60, most health problems are not sudden — they are slow changes that a routine health checkup picks up long before symptoms appear. Here is what a sensible senior checkup in Gurugram should include.

Core Blood Tests for Seniors

• CBC — detects anaemia, infection and blood disorders
• Fasting Blood Sugar and HbA1c — 3-month diabetes control at a glance
• Kidney Function Test (KFT) — creatinine, urea, eGFR
• Liver Function Test (LFT) — especially if on long-term medication
• Lipid Profile — cholesterol and triglycerides for cardiac risk
• Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) — hypothyroidism is common and often missed
• Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 — linked to bone strength, balance and memory
• Urine routine — early kidney and infection screening

Beyond Blood Work

• Chest X-Ray — for persistent cough or breathlessness
• Hip, knee or ankle X-Ray — for joint pain and mobility issues
• PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) — lung capacity in smokers, ex-smokers and asthmatics
• ECG — basic cardiac rhythm screening

How Often?

Once a year is enough for most healthy seniors. Twice a year if you have diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease or are on long-term medication.

Making It Easy for Elderly Parents

Travelling to a lab fasting and early in the morning is the biggest barrier. Aarvak Diagnostics offers home sample collection across Gurugram — including Sector 67, Sohna Road, Nirvana Country and Golf Course Extension Road — with digital reports usually the same day. Sample processing follows NABL protocols; our NABL certification application has been submitted.
