Annual Check-Up

A mid-tier health screening covering 57 biomarkers with In-Body composition analysis and a specialist doctor consultation. This package expands on the Vital screen by adding thyroid function, Apolipoprotein A1 and B for advanced cardiovascular risk, extended liver enzymes, and nutritional markers including B12, folate, and iron studies.

The Annual Check-Up at DNA Health & Wellness sits at the midpoint of the clinic's screening menu, bridging the gap between the focused 33-marker Vital package and the comprehensive 80-marker Executive tier. It is designed as a thorough yearly assessment for adults who want to go beyond standard blood work without committing to the full executive workup. The expanded panel adds thyroid function testing — TSH and free T4 — which are among the most commonly underscreened markers in routine physicals. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction affects a significant portion of the adult population and can manifest as fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbance, and cognitive fog, all symptoms that patients often attribute to stress or ageing rather than a treatable hormonal imbalance. Advanced cardiovascular risk markers distinguish this package from the Vital tier. Apolipoprotein A1 and Apolipoprotein B provide a more granular picture of atherogenic risk than the standard LDL measurement alone. ApoB in particular has emerged as one of the strongest single predictors of cardiovascular events, as it reflects the actual number of potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles circulating in the bloodstream. Nutritional markers fill another gap: Vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, and iron studies detect deficiencies that are widespread but often asymptomatic until they become severe. The In-Body composition analysis uses bioelectrical impedance to break down total body weight into skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat area, and segmental lean mass. This data goes well beyond the BMI number that most health checks rely on, providing actionable information for fitness and nutrition planning. The specialist consultation runs longer than the Vital package review, covering the additional markers and body composition data. Patients receive a written report with reference ranges, trend data for repeat visitors, and specific recommendations. The full visit typically takes about two hours.
