Frequently Asked Questions

Women in this age group should consider the following screenings:

  • Bone Density Test: To screen for osteoporosis, typically every two years.
  • Mammogram: Annually or biennially to check for breast cancer.
  • Colon Cancer Screening: Every ten years if previous results were normal, more frequently if at higher risk.
  • Blood Pressure: At least once a year.
  • Cholesterol Levels and Blood Glucose: Regularly, as recommended by a healthcare provider to monitor heart disease and diabetes risk.
Why is a bone density test important for women over 60?
  • After menopause, women are at increased risk for osteoporosis due to decreased estrogen levels. A bone density test can detect early signs of bone loss, allowing for timely intervention to prevent fractures and maintain bone health.
How often should women over 60 have mammograms?
  • Mammograms are typically recommended every one to two years for women over 60. The frequency may vary based on personal and family medical history, as well as individual risk factors. It’s essential to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine the best screening schedule.
  • Colon cancer screenings, such as colonoscopy, are recommended every ten years for women over 60, assuming previous results were normal. Those with a higher risk (e.g., family history of colon cancer) may need more frequent screenings or alternative tests like annual fecal occult blood tests or flexible sigmoidoscopies every five years.

Yes, cardiovascular health screenings are crucial for women over 60, including:

  • Blood Pressure Measurement: At least once a year to detect hypertension.
  • Cholesterol Levels: Regularly, as high cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease.
  • Blood Glucose Testing: Regularly, to screen for diabetes or prediabetes, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG): May be recommended periodically, especially if there are symptoms of heart disease or risk factors present.
