Preventive screening guide

What to screen for, and when. Use this as a conversation starter with your provider. Recommendations vary based on your personal history, family history, and country — your clinician can tailor this to you.

Screenings by age

This guide currently covers the 30s, 40s and 50s; it is not a complete guide for every age. Screening names, intervals and eligibility are awaiting qualified clinical review.

30s

Keep an eye on cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

  • Pap smear

    Discuss test type and interval

    From 30 to 65, a screening interval depends on the test type, prior results and your clinician’s guidance.

  • Cholesterol panel

    Every 4–6 years

    Earlier and more often if you have risk factors.

  • Diabetes screening

    As needed

    Screen at 35 or earlier if you are overweight/obese or have other risk factors.

  • Blood pressure

    At least yearly

    Pregnancy and postpartum monitoring are part of this window.

40s

Begin routine breast cancer screening and continue cervical and metabolic checks.

  • Mammogram

    Every 1–2 years

    Start at age 40 and continue through 74.

  • Cervical cancer screening

    Discuss test type and interval

    Discuss HPV testing, cytology and eligibility with your clinician; they are not interchangeable test schedules.

  • Blood pressure & cholesterol

    Regularly

    Cardiovascular risk rises in midlife; monitor both.

  • Diabetes screening

    Every 3 years

    More often if you have prediabetes, family history, or other risk factors.

50s

Add colorectal cancer screening and continue breast and metabolic care.

  • Colorectal cancer screening

    Every 1–10 years

    From 45 to 75. Options include stool tests, colonoscopy, or CT colonography.

  • Mammogram

    Every 1–2 years

    Continue through 74, or per your provider's plan.

  • Bone health discussion

    Risk-based

    Consider earlier testing if you have risk factors for osteoporosis.
