I'm a 32 year old man with a generally healthy lifestyle - frequent exercise, healthy largely-plant-based diet, no serious chronic health issues. I know, however, that quite often healthy-seeming people have unexpected health issues. Until recently, I've just assumed that living healthily would make any sorts of physicals or screenings irrelevant. I'm changing my tune, and so no I'm trying to wrap my mind around what's recommended for men, by way of screenings, throughout our lives.
Here's what I've come up with. Am I missing anything? Any thoughts?
- annual exam where blood pressure, cholesterol checked, immunizations updated
- dental exams twice a year
- skin exams every 3 years
- around 40-50, testicular, prostate, colorectial cancer testing
- around 55-65, lung cancer screening
These are the resources I used: - http://ift.tt/2kfJDS1 - http://ift.tt/2kAhen6 - http://ift.tt/2kGqhGr
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!
Edit: If relevant, my family history as I'm aware has a fair amount of prostate cancer, depression, and bipolar disorder; as well as a smaller amount of strokes and heart failure (and other non- or less-recurring diseases). I'm not sure to what extent family history should affect one's approach to health care.
