Health & prevention

Screenings, heart health, bone density and check-ups that matter after 40.

Key facts

  • Heart disease risk rises after menopause; blood pressure and cholesterol checks matter.
  • Bone density declines with oestrogen; calcium, vitamin D and strength training help.
  • Ask about thyroid function, diabetes screening and skin checks.
