How do men and women think about healthcare screening? Very differently, according to our latest Truven Health Analytics/NPR Health Poll.
As you can see in NPR’s report on the findings here, more than three-quarters of women 40 and older said they knew about guidelines for mammograms. In that group, a little more than half said the guidelines had an influence on their decision to get tested.
For men, about two-thirds of those 50 and older said they knew about guidelines for PSA testing. But less than half of them said the guidelines had affected their decision about getting tested.
When the data was broken down among different demographics, it found the more education people have and the more money they make, the more likely they are to get screened, the survey showed.
But there's another important factor. "If you don't have a relationship with a personal doctor, you're less likely to have appropriate screenings," our chief medical officer Dr. Ray Fabius said.

Healthcare programs are really important and that's why when it comes to health-related services especially about healthcare benefits issues are continuously popping out. Even the Las Vegas cosmetic dentist I know said that because of the unclear scope and provisions under it which are being ignored most of the times people are really confused and sometimes they think that these healthcare providers are prioritizing other people over them.

Thanks for sharing such an Important Article! When we think of healthcare screening, we think of pap tests and mammograms—both uniquely female screening tests. Men, on the other hand, are not frequent flyers to the doctor’s office, especially for things like screening tests. And yet there are screening tests for men that can save lives and prevent disease sooner than the disease would otherwise be found.

I certainly agree with your post!
ReplyDeleteMen and women have different attitudes towards their health problems especially their dental health. My friends from dental emergency new york keeps on telling me that.

ReplyDeleteThere are some good night pediatrics that could give you appropriate results. I have mine and they were pretty consistent on their findings.
ReplyDeleteCertain issues of men also include erectile dysfunction, which at some point sounded funny for others is truly bothering. Many posts have been advising patients to buy generic cialis or at least check out for doctors who can fully help them.

Hi, I love and appreciate your writing. I just like to say- Colon Cancer. Unless you have a history of colon cancer in your family, you can wait until 50 to begin colon cancer screening. If you do have a history of colon cancer in your family, talk to your doctor about scheduling a colon cancer screening. A colon cancer screening could involve a colonoscopy. It's not a fun test, but it's a lot better than having to undergo chemotherapy and other treatments for advanced colon cancer if you don’t catch it early. Thanks all, @Anne from Dot Medical Exam
