Which health checks make sense, and when?
A simple guide to the regular preventive medical checks recommended for men and women living in Switzerland — organised the two ways people actually think about them: by the check, or by your age.
By check
Each screening explained: when it first makes sense, how often to repeat it, and the personal factors that change the advice.
By age band
Pick your age group — 30s, 40s, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70+ — and see the checks that typically come into view, filtered by sex.
