Youth health: AOK encourages parents to take more preventive examinations!

The AOK today presented important results of a study that deals with the health behavior of young people. Last year, significantly more young people between the ages of 12 and 17 took the opportunity to take part in the check -ups "J1" and "J2". The medical checks have taken over over 23 percent of this age group, which is an increase of almost four percent compared to the previous year. This development is due to the fact that awareness of preventive health measures at this age increases.

, however, according to the experts, the use of the youth examinations remains behind the expectations. These examinations are of crucial importance in order to promote both the physical and mental health of adolescents. They are in no way inferior to the mandatory examinations for babies and toddlers, but urgently need to get more attention. Particular attention is paid to the fact that with the growth, the motivation to participate in these checks often decreases.

focus on early detection and health promotion

The youth examinations not only offer a way to determine physical health, but are also essential for the early detection of potential diseases. During puberty, a lot changes in the body, and the responsible monitoring of these changes can help recognize health problems at an early stage. Here parents are required to explain to young people the importance of these health checks for their well-being and, if necessary, to remind them of perceiving them.

conditions such as inadequate participation in these important health offers could have long -term effects on the health of young people. It is therefore very important to better educate the young people about the advantages of the preventive examinations and to actively encourage them to perceive these offers. Experts provide comprehensive information about the youth examinations, their content and the importance they take in health care for young people.
