Get regular checkups
Regular health checkups can help find problems early or before they start. Getting the right health tests or treatment will help you live a longer, healthier life. Your age, health, family history and your lifestyle choices, like what you eat and how much you exercise, decide how often and what type of preventive care you need.
Preventive care can include:
- Tests to check your overall health or the health of certain parts of your body.
- Regular weight and blood pressure checks.
- Immunizations (shots) for children and adults.
- Advice about diet, exercise, tobacco, alcohol and drug use, stress and accident prevention.
- Special tests at certain times in your life, like during pregnancy and beginning at age 50.
