Born in 1949: national cancer screening
The screenings people born in 1949 qualify for by age, for the next six years, split by sex. Liver and lung have a high-risk condition, so they get their own column.
NHIS has the final say on whether you're eligible. This page only checks your age and sex against the rule. It doesn't diagnose anything or give medical advice.

Age here is this year minus your birth year, which is the age you reach on your birthday this year. That's this page's rule. If you're right at a boundary, NHIS decides.
The even/odd birth-year rule is something we could confirm in NHIS's own text only for cervical screening. For the other every-2-years screenings we couldn't, so we don't name a year.
