New Report Finds Only 25 Percent of Adults Aged 50-64 Get Recommended Preventive Screenings
New Resource Offers Needed Data and Strategies to Reduce Illness and Premature Death
Only about 1 in 4 Americans aged 50–64 regularly take advantage of preventive services such as screenings and immunizations, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in collaboration with AARP 
and the American Medical Association (AMA).
The report, "Promoting Preventive Services for Adults 50–64: Community and Clinical Partnerships," focuses on opportunities to improve the health of the growing number of adults in the 50–64 age bracket to broaden the use of potentially lifesaving preventive services.
