When it comes to your health, early detection is everything. Many life-threatening diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, can be successfully treated if caught in their earliest stages.
9. Routine Blood Work
Comprehensive blood panels provide insight into your overall health, including liver function, thyroid activity, vitamin deficiencies, and more. Annual blood work is a cornerstone of preventive health care.
How Often Should You Get Screened?
The right frequency depends on your age, gender, family history, and lifestyle factors. For example:
- Annually: Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, physical exams.
- Every 1–2 years: Mammograms (for women over 40), Pap smears.
- Every 10 years: Colonoscopy (starting at age 45, sooner with family history).
- As recommended: Bone density scans, lung scans, and prostate cancer screenings.
The best approach is to develop a personalized screening plan with your primary care provider. At Starling Health, our primary care doctors guide patients through recommended screenings and coordinate with our in-house specialists.
