Understanding Screening Guidelines

Screening guidelines can be confusing, but they are designed to help you know when and what tests to get. These guidelines are based on age, gender, and risk factors.

General Recommendations

Most adults should start regular screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes in their 30s. Women should begin mammograms at age 40, while men should discuss prostate screenings with their doctors.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

It's essential to have a conversation with your healthcare provider about which screenings are right for you based on your personal health history.
