How this health screening checklist is built
Every item comes from a published guideline, and each card names its source. We use the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations graded A or B, which means the benefit is proven and most insurance plans cover them, plus the 2026 ACC/AHA cholesterol guideline, the American Diabetes Association Standards of Care 2026 and the KDIGO 2024 kidney guideline.
- Blood pressure: every year from age 40, every 3 to 5 years from 18 to 39 if your last reading was normal.
- Blood sugar: everyone from age 35, every 3 years if normal; earlier if you are overweight with another risk factor.
- Lp(a): the 2026 ACC/AHA guideline advises measuring it at least once in all adults.
- Cancer screening: colon from 45, mammogram every 2 years from 40 to 74, cervical screening up to 65, lung CT from 50 to 80 for heavy smokers.
Why your list changes with age
Screening is matched to the age when a problem becomes common enough that finding it early clearly helps. That is why the list grows after 40 and again after 45, 50 and 65. Move the age slider and the list updates instantly.
Your answers stay on your phone
Nothing you tick is sent to us. The list is saved only in your browser. To unlock the full list we ask for your email, and that is the only thing we receive. This is education, not medical advice: your doctor knows your full picture and may suggest more or different tests.
