Midlife & preventative health (40s – 60s)
Take charge of your long-term health
As men enter their 40s and beyond, maintaining good health becomes even more important. Regular check-ups and small lifestyle changes can prevent serious health conditions and keep you active, strong, and independent for years to come.
Prostate health & cancer screenings
Prostate cancer and other urinary health issues become more common as men age. Early detection through regular screenings can make all the difference.
-
PSA testing and digital rectal exams (DRE) help detect prostate cancer and other concerns early. Early referral is key.
-
Urinary health check-ups can identify frequent urination, incontinence, or weak stream issues.
-
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be linked to hormonal, vascular, or lifestyle factors—seeking support can help manage and treat it.
Heart health & blood pressure management
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men over 40. Taking care of your heart now can prevent future complications.
-
Regular cardiovascular risk assessments help monitor cholesterol, blood pressure, and overall heart function.
-
Managing diabetes and high blood pressure reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
-
Weight and metabolism checks ensure age-related weight changes don’t impact long-term health.​
Did you know?
One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Regular screenings can save lives.
Healthy Eating Tip:
Eating a balanced diet, staying active, and getting regular health checks significantly lower the risk of heart disease.
Sleep & energy levels
As men age, energy levels can decline, and sleep disorders may go undiagnosed.
-
Sleep apnea and insomnia testing can help if you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, snoring, or restlessness at night.
-
Hormone and testosterone screenings can address low energy, decreased muscle mass, and other midlife changes.
Fact:
Poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease by nearly 50%. Improving sleep habits supports both mental and physical health.
Mental health & cognitive function
Midlife can bring changes that impact mental well-being, but addressing them early leads to better long-term outcomes.
-
Managing stress, anxiety, and depression is key to overall health, and support is available for those struggling with midlife transitions.
-
Memory and cognitive health checks help detect early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Reminder:
Many men avoid seeking help for mental health concerns, but early intervention makes a difference. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
​Bone & muscle health
Many men don’t realise that they are also at risk for osteoporosis and mobility issues as they age.
-
Bone density screenings can help detect osteoporosis early, reducing the risk of fractures.
-
Strength and mobility assessments ensure that muscles remain strong to support long-term physical activity.
Did you know?
A single fracture after age 50 can increase long-term health risks. Staying active and eating calcium-rich foods can help prevent bone loss.​​​
It’s time to prioritise your health
Your 40s, 50s, and 60s are the time to take control of your well-being. Preventative care, screenings, and lifestyle adjustments ensure you stay healthy, active, and independent.
