Periodic health examinations, or annual clinical checkups, are a primary reason for seeking medical care. The objective is to identify hidden problems or diseases in their early stages and to promote behaviors that prevent or minimize the consequences of these conditions. However, the practice of conducting annual reviews with clinical, laboratory, and imaging examinations indiscriminately is not associated with outcomes that matter to the patient (such as reducing morbidity and mortality) and may result in harm, including overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The objective of the present work is to review and summarize the measures currently recommended and supported by scientific evidence from the main regulatory authorities of the United States (United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)) and Canada (Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC)), in order to create a practical guide for evidence-based checkups.
定期健康检查，即年度临床体检，是寻求医疗护理的主要原因。其目的是在早期发现潜在问题或疾病，并促进采取预防措施或尽量减少这些疾病后果的行为。然而，不加区分地进行年度临床、实验室和影像学检查的做法与对患者重要的结果（如降低发病率和死亡率）并无关联，反而可能导致伤害，包括过度诊断和过度治疗。本研究的目的是回顾和总结目前美国主要监管机构（美国预防服务工作组（USPSTF））和加拿大（加拿大预防性医疗保健工作组（CTFPHC））推荐并得到科学证据支持的措施，以便制定一份基于证据的体检实用指南。
