Men’s Health Screening Guidelines
Take charge of your health and wellness with preventive screenings. These regularly scheduled tests can find health problems early—when they’re easier to treat. Our men’s health providers recommend that men get health screenings for:
- Colorectal cancer: Starting at age 45, men should have a colonoscopy every 10 years. Your healthcare provider may recommend earlier or more frequent colonoscopies if you have a family history of colon cancer or specific risk factors.
- Diabetes: Beginning at age 45, men should have a blood glucose (sugar) test every three years. You may need more frequent testing if you’re overweight or have a family history of diabetes.
- Excess weight or obesity: Men should have their body mass index (BMI) measured every year. BMI is a measure of body fat based on your height and weight.
- Fall risk: Starting at age 65, men should undergo a fall risk assessment. This screening includes questions and tests of balance, strength and gait (walking pattern) to determine your risk of falling.
- High blood pressure: Starting at age 20, men should have their blood pressure checked every two years, or more often, if your provider recommends it.
- High cholesterol: From age 20 through 45, men should have a blood cholesterol test every five years. Beginning at age 45, men should have this test every year. If you have certain risk factors or a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease, your provider may recommend testing more often.
- Prostate cancer: At age 50, men should talk to their provider about the potential risks and benefits of testing so they can decide whether testing is right for them. If you have certain risk factors, your provider may discuss prostate cancer screening at an earlier age.
- Vision and eye conditions: Most men should have an eye exam every two to 10 years, or every year if they have diabetes. Men with risk factors or a family history of glaucoma should have an eye exam every two years.
