Apparently these are offered from age 40 to 74 and I've just had my first at age 70. No worries, I'm fit and have no bad habits though a bit overweight.
A list of boxes were ticked and I was told I was "inactive", despite walking 2 or more hours daily, looking after toddlers, gardening and being generally busy. I protested and was told you're inactive if you don't cycle or go to a gym 3 hours a week. "How many 70 year olds go to a bloody gym?" I asked. She then asked if I ever walk uphill, a fatuous question in a town that's all hills.
I was outraged and no surprise that my blood pressure was then found to be very high.
So outraged that I bought a sticky bun on the way home!
