Check List Regular check-ups are an important part of preventive medicine. Screening tests can be done to detect diseases in early and hopefully more treatable stages. Unfortunately, there aren't any straight answers.
Every person is unique.
Family history, environment, and lifestyle all influence our health and risk for disease. Various health care organizations have issued some general guidelines. But again, personal risk factors still influence the screening recommendations. Your best source of information for periodic screenings is your health care provider. By the time you reach adulthood, you should have an established relationship with a physician who knows your personal medical history and family risk factors.
