Screenings can find health problems early, often before symptoms appear and when they are easier to treat.

Common screenings include blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and several types of cancer. Which ones you need depends on your age, sex and family history.

Pin Tip

Schedule a yearly checkup and ask your doctor which screenings are due for you.

Know Your Family History

Tell your doctor about conditions that run in your family, such as heart disease or cancer. It can change when screenings should start.
