Anecdotally, if I hadn't gotten tested as part of a long term physical I wouldn't know about stuff that would cause my body to fail much younger than it would otherwise and lead to an early death.

So hey, at least in my case, it worked as the commonly held belief states.

And that study doesn't look at multi-decade long term effects like diabetes, etc. where you need it for a decade (or longer!) untreated (or poorly managed) before it kills ya. But it still kills ya years early.

So even the "raising rates of diabetes detection" in combination with your belief from that study proves you incorrect when people talk long term.
