b. Fasting and Post prandial blood sugar
c. Complete lipid profile
d. ECG
e. Mammogram
f. Colonoscopy
g. Pap smear
h. Blood pressure, height and weight need to be checked
i. DEXA scan

The tests for your husband include:

Here I am assuming they are healthy and have no complaints as of now. Do let me know if this assumption is incorrect
