20s:
Arrange for a complete physical every five years, which should include:
· Cholesterol profile
· Blood pressure check
· Testicular cancer screening (Young men should also perform monthly self-exams.)
· Waist measurement and height and weight measurements to calculate your body mass index, or BMI
· Most physicians also recommend a complete blood count, a blood sugar test and a urinalysis.
· Get an adult-type tetanus-pertussis-diphtheria booster (and follow up every 10 years).
· See your dentist every six to 12 months.
30s:
Sign up for complete physicals, which should repeat the tests conducted in your 20s, but every three years instead of every five. At 35 you can stop testicular exams.
