Mature health
Meet the ‘full of life’ you
None of us are getting any younger, but staying on top of your health and wellbeing can help you carry on living life your way. That’s where a Mature Health Assessment can help.
Designed specifically for people aged 65 and over, this in-depth health check will give you a detailed picture of your current physical and mental health, while also identifying your risk of developing future health problems, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. It also includes tests for specific male or female cancers, to help put your mind at ease. For a full list of the Mature Health’s tests and assessments see our Comparison Guide (PDF, 0.2MB)
Following the assessment you’ll get access to your own My Bupa Portal which will hold your results, a personalised report as well as health information, videos and online coaching programmes. You’ll also get two follow up coaching calls with a Lifestyle coach to see how you’re getting on and offer support and advice.
