It’s that time of year again—health check-up season. Many people open their reports hoping for the best, only to feel anxious when they see row after row of abnormal markers. Some quickly close the report, thinking, “It’s probably not serious,” while others feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.

According to 2024 health screening data, over 30% of Taiwanese adults have abnormal results—proof that this isn’t just an individual concern but a public health wake-up call.

“Abnormal values aren’t meant to scare you—they’re your body’s way of signaling metabolic and lifestyle imbalances,” reminds Dr. Tseng Chao-Wei of Lucky Preventive Medicine.

Top 10 Abnormal Findings in Taiwan’s Health Reports (2023 Data):

1. Hemorrhoids

2. Gastritis or ulcers

3. Autonomic nervous dysfunction

4. Low vitamin D

5. Colon polyps

6. Thyroid nodules or cysts

7. Fatty liver

8. Reduced bone density

9. High cholesterol

10. Overweight

“Many people only care about ‘serious diseases,’ but they overlook how these abnormal markers are often the first warning signs of chronic health issues,” says Dr. Tseng.

Why Do People Ignore Abnormal Results?

After seeing their reports, most people briefly consider making changes—but busy schedules, work stress, and family responsibilities soon push those concerns aside. Abnormal results become “minor issues” that don’t seem urgent.

“This is the reality for many: they feel anxious, set the report aside, and decide to ‘wait until next year.’ Unfortunately, next year’s results are often worse,” Dr. Tseng notes.

A Doctor’s Perspective: It’s Not Just Numbers—It’s Your Body Speaking

“Many think abnormal results mean an organ is failing. But the real question is: Why did these values appear? What daily habits are causing this?”

Abnormal markers reflect imbalances in diet, sleep, stress, and exercise. While medication or short-term changes might temporarily improve numbers, lasting change requires fundamental lifestyle adjustments.

“See these results as your body’s alarm bell—don’t just focus on the numbers. Look at how you live each day.”

The Data Speaks: Don’t Underestimate Abnormal Markers

• Over 30% of Taiwanese adults have abnormal health screening results

• Metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation are increasingly common

• Abnormal markers often reflect systemic imbalance

“These numbers reflect modern lifestyle challenges and poor health management,” emphasizes Dr. Tseng.

Final Reminder: Take Action—Don’t Just Worry

“Abnormal results aren’t a death sentence—they’re your body’s way of asking for help. Don’t just read the report and forget it. Now is the best time to start making changes.”

Dr. Tseng urges everyone to begin with diet, exercise, and stress management—supported by professional preventive medicine—to turn abnormal results into an opportunity for lasting health.
