Helsjekk

Helsjekk is a Norwegian term that translates to "health check" or "health inspection." It generally refers to a routine examination or assessment of a person's physical and mental well-being. These checks can range from informal self-assessments to formal medical examinations conducted by healthcare professionals. The purpose of a helsjekk is to identify potential health issues early, monitor existing conditions, and promote overall wellness.

In a broader context, the term helsjekk can also be applied to the health of systems or organizations, similar to a "health check-up" for a business or a "system integrity check" for a computer network. However, its most common usage pertains to individual health. These checks often involve reviewing medical history, discussing lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise, and may include physical examinations, blood tests, or other diagnostic procedures depending on the individual's age, risk factors, and specific concerns. Regular helsesjekker are an important part of preventive healthcare.
