Yearly QuantGold testing in low risk patients has been shown to be unnecessary and actually carries a significantly higher risk of false positive than true positive.

I only do quantiferon gold yearly. Even though most of the new biologics' mechanism of action does not seem to place patients at risk for TB reactivation, most of the clinical trials repeated it so it actually may be unknown.

I also do the yearly quant gold - but this is definitely insurance-driven. Young is in the eye of the beholder- but do routinely do at least fasting glucose and lipid screening - annually at 35. Before that is every 3 years if normal. Most of my patients are getting these and CBC and CMP by PCPs.
