While health screenings have significant benefits, they also come with potential risks and limitations: - False Positives: These can lead to unnecessary anxiety, additional tests, and procedures. - False Negatives: These may provide false reassurance and delay diagnosis and treatment. - Overdiagnosis: Detecting conditions that may never cause symptoms or harm can lead to overtreatment. - Accessibility Issues: Socioeconomic factors can limit access to screening for certain populations.
