  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screen: Those men who are between the ages of 65 and 75 who have smoked should get screened for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Bone Density Exam: If you are over the age of 65, you should get at least one bone density exam, a test to measure the strength of your bones. If you are between 50 and 65, talk with your doctor to see if you need a bone density test, especially if you have had a broken bone.
  • Breast Cancer Screen: Women between the ages of 50 to 75 should get a mammogram, an x-ray of your breasts, at least once every two years.
