In 2024 will be generalized the “my prevention assessment” system. Available for free, it allows general practitioners to follow all the essential meetings of their patients over their lives. But what are these key moments not to be missed?
A generalization after a few months of testing. The “my prevention assessment” system will be generalized in 2024 to the entire French territory. Free and already tested in Hauts-de-France, it will allow general practitioners to monitor the key stages of the health of their patients throughout their lives.
The principle of “my prevention assessment” is simple, and lies in four meetings of around thirty minutes, free and without advance of costs, offered to all adults between 18 and 75 years old, in order to follow all the important moments of their health. The objective will be to assess the risks of complications, or to identify potential weaknesses.
According to recent figures from INSEE, the state of health perceived by men and women evolves strongly with age. Up to 29 years, 48% of women and 52% of men think they are in very good health, which pushes them not to monitor it too much. But this figure decreases between 30 and 49 years, where men and women are only 30% to say they are in perfect health.
Four age groups eligible for the “my prevention assessment” health assessment were then identified as key moments in the life of a patient and subject to the High Council of Public Health.
-Between 18 and 25 years old
The medical meeting dedicated to this age group will be devoted to all health issues concerning the transition to working life and adulthood. In particular, it will be focused on raising awareness of addiction problems, sexually transmitted infections and sexual health, as well as vigilance on sleep and mental well-being.
Between 45 and 50 years old
Patients located in this age group will be subject to a consultation in order to monitor the first complications possibly observable on the cardiological level in women. It will also be a question of organizing the first messages of screening (breast cancers, colorectal), and of observing the potential appearance of chronic diseases, or complications related to tobacco consumption.
Between 60 and 65 years
The consultation of people located between 60 and 65 years of age is dedicated to optimizing the management of chronic diseases and to anticipate the risks linked to the life change (retirement).
Between 70 and 75 years
The last meeting of this maintenance loop will be devoted to monitoring the risk factors for isolation and dependence, as well as to anticipate age-related weaknesses.
