Health screenings help find diseases early, often before symptoms show. Early detection makes treatment easier. What you need depends on your age, sex, family history, and risk factors.
Common screenings include:
- Cancer tests: breast (mammogram), cervical (Pap), colorectal (start at age 45).
- Heart & metabolic health: blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes tests.
- Bone health: osteoporosis screening (especially for older adults).
- Weight: obesity screening.
- Prostate cancer: for men based on age and risk.
- Dental exams: to check teeth and gums.
- Eye exams: to monitor vision and eye health.
Talk to your healthcare provider to know which screenings you need and when to get them.
