Essential Health Screenings for Men

Many health problems are detected via preventative screenings—which ultimately improves outcomes. Men are at an increased risk for a number of conditions, but with education, motivation and help from your primary care provider, you can start the habits that make for a longer, healthier life.

In both men and women, the half-century mark—age 50—is a common milestone for testing and monitoring increased risk of stroke and heart disease. Men should be seeing their physician annually, at the very least, once they turn 50.

Speak with your primary care provider about the right method of screening for you. The age at which you begin screening depends on several things, including family history and your personal health profile. You and your doctor will decide which screening method is best for you.
