1.CHOLESTROL-
If the concentration of cholestrol in blood exceeds the normal level then it may lead to increase deposition of fat leading to heart diseases and paralysis. One can easily know his cholestrol level by undergoing blood test. we can know the low desity lipoprotein level (LDL) and high density lipoprotein level (HDL) by test. If LDL concentration is more then fat may get deposit and increases the risk of heart attack. So LDL is called ” Bad cholestrol”. HDL wont allows fat to get deposited in the blood vessels so it is called “Good Cholestrol”. More of HDL and low amount of LDL is preferred for health. So women who crossed 45 years of age and dont show risk factors should also get check up for cholestrol test every 5 years where as those who show risk factors should undergo test every year. Women who are found positive for diabetes and Blood pressure should also undergo cholestrol test. The children belonging to families suffering from “Familial hypercholestrolimia” should also undergo cholestrol test for every 2-3 years.
2.DIABETES-
If the blood glucose level exceeds the normal level it leads to diabetes. It occurs because of decrease secretion of insulin by pancreas, or because of improper usage of insulin by muscles, genes present in fat.

It is also recommended for every women to undergo diabetes test after crossing the age of 45.
3.BONE DENSITY TEST-
Women who crosses 50 years of age are commonly affected by osteoporosis. The test used to detect osteoporosis is called bone density test. It is a diseased in which there is loss of bone mass, due to loss of calcium and few related minerals. In India among women who reach menopause are more frequently affected. Menopouse leads to lack of oestrogen production which inturn leads to this disease. Women who are lean and women whose family has a history of osteoporosis are at more risk of this disease.
