Default Re: "Normal" lab tests????????

WRONG!

It is somewhat age dependent. You need a lipid profile (the cholesterol tests) done at age 18-20, then every 5 years. Blood pressure should be reviewed avery 2 years. Most of the rest of it is specific depending on your medical and family history. It is better to prevent problems related to high cholesterol and blood pressure than to deal with the consequences (heart attack, stroke, NOT FLYING).
