How often should I be screened?
You should be screened annually if your clinical values (blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, etc.) are not in the normal range and if you are at high risk for disease onset. You may want to get screened more often to track your progress if you are making lifestyle changes to reduce your disease risks. If your clinical values are normal and your family health history has not changed, we suggest being screened every three to five years.
