Your guide to preventative health screenings you should get in your 20s

Preventative care and screenings are important steps you can take for your health — and that's true even for young adults in their 20s, who may feel invincible but shouldn't take good health for granted.

CBS News HealthWatch has compiled a series of guides to help you know which preventative screenings should be on your list, starting with people in their 20s and in each decade through your 60s and beyond. For the youngest age group in our series, there are plenty of ways to get a healthy head start.

"If everyone followed our preventative health screenings, we would catch disease earlier. We would be able to treat it and be more successful," Dr. Robert M. Biernbaum, chief medical officer for WellNow Urgent Care, told CBS News. "Instead of seeing end stage breast cancer, end stage colon cancer, we would catch them at a younger age and they would have a better outcome. So prevention is the key to being healthy."
