How to Know If You’re Healthy Over 50? A Checklist for Men

When you’re a kid under 50, it’s easy to ignore the advice about eating better, exercising, and seeing the doctor regularly. Once you hit the big five-oh, it’s time to start paying closer attention to your health and concentrate on routine maintenance. 

In your 20s, your metabolism is rocking, and you can do pretty much any unhealthy activity and get away with it. Outside of an accident, you were invincible. At 30, you’re probably married, maybe have kids, and are well on your way to a dad-bod. After 40, you notice that you’ve lost a step or two and no longer see the younger you in the mirror.

Today, over 50 isn’t the same as in our parent’s generation. Men achieve remarkable feats of strength and endurance after 50. Katsusuke Yanagisawa summited Mt. Everest at age 71, and Ed Whitlock completed a marathon in under three hours at 69.

While it’s unlikely that you go to space at age 77 like John Glenn, keeping up with your health helps to continue living your best life for as long as possible. Remember, simply feeling okay doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy. Use this checklist to know if you’re healthy over 50.

• Get vaccinated! If you haven’t yet received your COVID shot, make an appointment today or get on the list at a local vaccination site.
• Make sure you also get an annual flu shot. As we age, the flu can turn from a nuisance to a deadly virus.
• If you’re a man about town, you should be screened at least once a year for the big three STDs; chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Men who have sex with men or are active with multiple partners should get tested for HIV regularly.
• Keep up with your tetanus booster. You should get one every ten years.
• Starting at age 50, ask your doctor about the shingles vaccine. The painful blistering of shingles is no joke, and you’re susceptible if you had chickenpox as a kid.
• Have your blood pressure checked at least once every two years.
• Depending on your risk factors, get blood work performed annually to monitor your cholesterol and diabetes risk.
• The American Cancer Society guidelines suggest men over 45 begin screening for colorectal cancer. A colonoscopy every ten years and an annual stool test are the recommended screening options.
• At 55, your doctor should begin testing for prostate cancer with a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. Old-school docs might still want to grease up a finger and give it a feel, but either way, have your prostate checked.
• Starting at 65, you should get vaccinated for pneumonia. This vaccine is two doses, with the second scheduled a year after the first.
• If you were ever a smoker, you should request an ultrasound to test for an abdominal aortic aneurysm between the ages of 65 and 75. An undetected aortic aneurysm is deadly if it ruptures.
• Speak with your doctor about your health habits like diet, exercise, and sleep. Your physician will use this information to detect any possible hidden concerns.
• Disclose all your substance-abuse habits to your doctor, including alcohol consumption.
• The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends 30-minutes of aerobic exercise five times and strength training twice weekly. These exercises can be as easy as a brisk walk for aerobics and light dumbbells for strength.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Use this chart from masterdietadvice.com to help identify your ideal height to weight ratio.

We know it can be a challenge to keep up with the many tests, vaccines, and preventative measures, so the best thing you can do is get an annual physical. According to several surveys, men routinely neglect to take prescriptions as directed and fail to schedule screenings ordered by their doctor. Why are we so stubborn when it comes to our health?

A survey by the CDC in 2017 reports 87% of men 45-64 years old have been in contact with a healthcare professional in the last year. The question remains, “Are we going to the doctor because we want to or because we need to?” 

Combining the results of the multiple studies at a glance, it seems like we go to the doctor but aren’t really taking the advice.
