Tests You Need to Take in Your Sixties
Blood pressure: Every two years after age 50.
Cholesterol: Every five years unless you have high cholesterol. Then monitor this regularly.
Colon and Rectal Screening: This screening checks for cancerous growths and benign growths (polyps) that may become cancerous.
Dental Check-up: Once a year. Tooth decay, believe it or not, can lead to heart disease. Don’t put this off.
Diabetes: Get a blood sugar test if you’re at increased risk. You know that you are at increased risk if you have such factors as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides, obesity, or a family history of diabetes.
Eye Exam: Every 2 years.
