- Cholesterol Screening: Men over age 40 without any risk factors for high cholesterol should have a cholesterol screening once a year.
- Blood Glucose Test: If you have risk factors for diabetes, you should have your blood sugar checked once a year, especially if you are between the ages of 40 and 70 and obese with high blood pressure.
