Educational only, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor.
Know to Prevail summarizes public recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and ranges published by the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the CDC and the NIH. It is for general education. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
- The recommendations are for adults at average risk without symptoms. If you have symptoms, a strong family history, or a known condition, your doctor may recommend different tests or timing.
- Recommendations change. We review the table regularly and date every page, but there can be a gap between a USPSTF update and ours. The linked source is always the final word.
- Do not delay seeing a doctor, or ignore their advice, because of something on this site.
- If you think you have a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
