Platinum Check-Up — Men Under 40

The most comprehensive tier for men under 40, adding dietitian consultation, coronary calcium scoring, vitamin D, vitamin B12, insulin resistance testing, HbA1c, hepatitis serology, and tumour markers (CEA, AFP, CA19-9) to the Gold foundation. A thorough preventive assessment for younger men who want maximum diagnostic coverage.

The Platinum Check-Up for men under 40 represents the hospital's most thorough screening programme for this demographic, layering metabolic, nutritional, and oncological markers onto the Gold tier's specialist consultations and expanded blood panel. Coronary calcium scoring via CT is the headline addition — a non-invasive imaging study that quantifies calcified plaque in the coronary arteries, providing one of the strongest single predictors of future cardiovascular events. While coronary artery disease is less common in men under 40, a zero calcium score offers powerful negative reassurance, and an unexpected positive result can prompt earlier intervention in a demographic that might otherwise defer cardiac investigation for another decade. The metabolic panel expands significantly: HbA1c provides a three-month average of blood sugar control, while insulin resistance testing (HOMA index) detects metabolic dysfunction before fasting glucose alone would flag a problem. Vitamin D and vitamin B12 address the most commonly deficient micronutrients in urban populations. Hepatitis B serology (HBsAg and Anti-HBs) screens for active infection and immunity status. Tumour markers — CEA (colorectal), AFP (liver), and CA19-9 (pancreatic) — are included as baseline cancer screening markers. While tumour markers have limitations as standalone diagnostic tools, establishing baseline values in a younger population provides a reference point for future comparison. A dietitian consultation rounds out the programme, translating the biochemical findings into practical nutritional guidance.
