Complete check up: Testings are based on their age and underlying conditions and if they have symptoms or signs. Usually having a complete blood count, checking the kidney, liver, thyroid function and cholesterol levels is a good start. Colonoscopy for colon cancer screening and a mammogram for woman of 50 yrs and prostate test for man of 50 are recommended by various professional organizations.
