PREVENTIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS
Note: These are general guidelines. Adults should also be screened for alcohol misuse, depression, obesity, and tobacco use. If you are at an increased risk for an illness, tests may need to be done sooner or more often. Extra tests (e.g., screening for diabetes, glaucoma) may also need to be done. Follow your doctor’s advice for physical exams, screening tests, and vaccines. 1 Screening guidelines vary with health groups. For ages 40-49 and 74+, discuss your breast
cancer risk and the recommended frequency of screening tests with your doctor.2 Discuss screening test options with your doctor. How often testing is needed depends on the
test(s) given and your personal risk factors. 3 Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test screening guidelines vary with different health
groups. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks.
Find out more about health tests:Get U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advice for screening tests based on age and sex from www.healthfinder.gov/myhealthfinder.
