Both health assessments are almost identical to each other, which include the basic health checkup, like physical examination, blood pressure and pulse measurement, body mass index checkup, urine and stool tests. Apart from those, the major discrepancy in between will be the blood analysis (for example, complete blood count and immunoglobulin lgE).
