What Is Preventive Care?
Preventive care helps you prevent health problems before they happen. It can also
help you improve your overall health and slow down the progress of diseases such
as diabetes and high blood pressure. Doctors know that preventive care makes a big
difference in staying healthy. Some health plans do not charge deductibles, co-pays,
or co-insurance for preventive care.1
Recommended Care
This workbook lists recommended preventive care by age and sex. You may not need
all the tests and screenings listed. You may need some others that are not listed. The
specific ones you need depend on your health risks. Ask your doctor which ones you
need.1
This Workbook Can Help You
•• Work with your health care team to get recommended preventive care.
•• Take steps on your own to protect your health and prevent problems.
Working With Your Health Care Team
You are an important member of your health care team—which includes your
primary care doctor, specialists, therapists, pharmacists, and others.
Preventive care includes regular checkups with your primary care doctor. At these
checkups, you can talk about health issues and concerns. Your doctor can give
you some of the screening tests and vaccines you need—and give you referrals
for others.
Look ahead for…

Preventive Care for
Babies and Children
Your baby or child needs regular checkups, screenings, and vaccines. Regular checkups
are also called well-baby or well-child visits.2
Use this checklist to talk to your health care team about preventive care for your child.
Take Your Child to the Doctor for Regular Checkups
See page 28 for
links to helpful
children’s health
resources.
Checkups help you learn about your child’s health and development. They help you
keep your child up to date on vaccines and screenings. They also help the doctor
find problems early—when they might be easier to treat.2
o Ask your child’s doctor for a schedule of well-baby and well-child visits.
o Make sure the doctor has a record of your child’s and family’s health history.
o Ask if your child is developing normally.
Steps to Take for Your Child’s Health
Talk to your doctor about ways to help your child stay healthy:
o Eat a healthy diet. See pages 22–23.
o Stay active. See pages 24–25.

Are You at a Healthy Weight?
For adults, one way to figure out if you are within a healthy weight range is to use
the body mass index, or BMI, below.17
1. Look on the chart for your height. Then look across to find your weight.
2. If your weight is found under the overweight or obese column, you should talk
to your doctor.
3. You and your doctor can make a plan so you can get closer to a
healthy weight.

See page 28 for
links to resources
that can help
you maintain a
healthy weight.
How Do You Get to and Stay at a Healthy Weight?18
Food has calories. We use the calories for energy. Extra calories are stored in the body
as fat. You need to balance the calories you eat and the calories you actually use.
•• To stay at your current weight, you need to use all the calories you eat.
•• To lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you use.
•• Do not try to lose weight too fast. A good goal for most adults is to lose 1 to 2
pounds a week. If you are very overweight, ask your doctor if you should try
to lose more weight each week.
The best way to lose weight or to stay at a healthy weight is to eat a healthy diet
and be active every day.
Maintain a Healthy Weight18
There are many good reasons to stay at a healthy weight. Extra weight puts you
at a higher risk for many health problems, including high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colon and breast cancer. It
can also cause joint problems and breathing problems.
21
19
Eat a Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy diet helps you maintain a healthy weight. It also helps lower your
risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems.
What Is a Healthy Diet?19
A healthy diet includes a variety of:
•• Fruits and vegetables. •• Whole grains like brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat bread.
•• Fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products, or substitutes like soy milk.
•• Fish, chicken, lean meat, beans, eggs, and nuts.
22
A Healthy Diet Will Limit19:
•• Saturated and trans fats—fatty meats and bakery foods.
•• Salt (sodium).
•• Added sugar—sweets, sodas, juice drinks.
A Healthy Diet Also19:
•• Balances the calories you eat with the calories you use.
•• Controls portion size. For example, divide your dinner plate into 4 equal
parts. Fill 1 part with vegetables and 1 part with fruit. And fill 1 part with
meat or beans and 1 part with a grain, like rice or pasta.
If You Need to Lose Weight19
To lose weight, you need to eat less. A good way to do this is to:
•• Eat smaller serving sizes.
•• Eat more healthy foods—especially fruits and vegetables.
•• Choose fewer unhealthy foods, like sweets, fried foods, and sodas.
Healthy Eating for the Whole Family19
Help your children grow up with healthy habits.
•• Make healthy meals and snacks.
•• Keep unhealthy food out of the house.
A healthy diet
helps lower your
risk of type 2
diabetes, heart
disease, and high
blood pressure.
23
Be Active
20
Being active helps you maintain a healthy weight. When you are active, you use
more calories. Being active also helps reduce your risk for high blood pressure,
heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis. And it may reduce
symptoms of arthritis, depression, and anxiety.
The Whole Family Needs Physical Activity20
•• Children and teens need at least 1 hour of physical activity each day. •• Adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, 5 days per week.
•• Help your children learn good habits by doing active things as a family, like
going on walks or playing outdoor games.
24
Be sure to check
with your doctor
before starting an
exercise routine.
What Counts as Being Active?20
Moderate activity means your
breathing and heart rate are faster than
usual, but you can still talk while you
are doing the activity. Some examples of
moderate activity are:
•• Walking briskly.
•• Biking on level ground.
•• Mowing the lawn or raking leaves.
Vigorous activity means your breathing
and heart rate are too fast to talk
while you are doing the activity. Some
examples of vigorous activity are:
•• Running, jogging, or walking
quickly uphill.
•• Biking at high speed.
•• Playing basketball, soccer, and
other competitive sports.
If You Need to Lose Weight20
To lose weight, you need to use more calories than you eat. If you are not an active
person, start with small periods of an activity you enjoy. Build up to longer periods
of activity.
Tips for Success20
Set goals and
track your
progress.
Reward yourself
to celebrate
successes.
•• Start slowly. Work up to 30 minutes a day. Aim for 60 minutes if you need to
lose weight. •• Set goals and track your progress. Then reward yourself to celebrate your
success.
•• Try a variety of activities. Do different things on different days.
•• Be active with family and friends.
25
Do Not Smoke
21
Smoking is harmful to almost every part of your body. It increases your risk for
heart disease, stroke, and many cancers, from lung cancer to kidney cancer.
Quitting is not easy, but many people do it every year. And there are lots of
programs to help you quit. Many health plans offer programs to help you stop
smoking. Talk to your health care team. And remember to protect your family from
secondhand smoke. It can harm children’s lungs. Do not allow smoking in the home
or the car.
See page 29
for links to
resources to help
you quit smoking.
26
Practice Safe Sex
22
Sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, are passed from one partner to another. This happens during sexual
intercourse and other sexual contact, such as anal and oral sex. There are many STIs, including chlamydia,
herpes, genital warts, hepatitis B, and HIV.
Ways to Protect Yourself and Your
Partner22:
•• Use condoms. Condoms help prevent the spread of
STIs. They also help prevent pregnancy. •• Limit the use of alcohol or drugs before sex. They
affect your judgment.
•• Get regular screening and lab tests. Talk with your
doctor about tests for chlamydia, HIV, and other STIs.
•• If you have an STI, get treated. STIs can cause
infertility, cancer, and other serious problems if
they are not treated. Some STIs, like HIV, can
cause death.
If You Want to Get Pregnant or Might
Get Pregnant23:
A healthy pregnancy starts before the mother gets
pregnant. Talk to your doctor if you might get
pregnant.
•• Ask about prenatal vitamins and other ways to
protect the health of your baby.
•• Get tested and treated if you think you might have
an STI. Some STIs can cause serious problems
in babies.
•• Avoid alcohol, drugs, and smoking if you are
pregnant. These can cause serious problems
in babies.
•• If you don’t want to get pregnant, talk to your
doctor about family planning.
