Low: Especially at your age the benefits would be low. There is also radiation involved and it may lead to a number of unnecessary tests afterwards. Better to see your primary care physician and have a good comprehensive physical, laboratory tests and stool test looking for occult blood.

Good health : Depending on your health status and age, yearly check may not be beneficial. Have a healthy diet, exercise at least 150 minutes per week, drink plenty of water, avoid saturated fats, alcohol, tobacco, weed and street drugs. Get HPV and other vaccines.
