For men 18 to 80: The ultimate guy’s checkup checklist

Ok guys, you’re another year older. It’s time to start planning for your annual checkup. We're committed to keeping men everywhere as healthy as possible. In celebration of Father's Day and Men's Health Month, we're taking a look at men's health at key age milestones, and highlighting the important steps necessary to maintain good health.

With help from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),¹ we’ve prepared The Ultimate Guy’s Checkup Checklist. It provides a high-level snapshot of recommended preventive services for male patients, ages 18 to 80.² So, after you schedule an appointment for your annual checkup, use this checklist to guide the conversation with your healthcare provider–not just for this year, but for many years to come.
