Common health concerns and questions
As you age, it is helpful to be empowered with information that can help you navigate changes to your health. That's why we've compiled answers to common health concerns you may be facing below.
What conditions are prevalent in older adults that I should be aware of?
Conditions that increase in prevalence as patients age include arthritis, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, hip and joint pain, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and depression.
I am seeing so many specialists, why do I need a primary care physician at my age?
Your relationship with a primary care physician is meant to be lifelong. As you reach retirement age and beyond, general practitioners can provide annual physicals and help with disease prevention. As they have a more holistic view of your health, primary care providers can step in and provide referrals for specialists when needed. Learn more about primary care.
With so many different specialists, it's hard to determine who to see. What should I do?
Your primary care physician should be your first stop when discussing potential specialists as they can help navigate and determine who is appropriate based on your health condition. Specialists are needed to diagnosis and treat specialized or more complex conditions. Common reasons to see a specialist include consultation on joint problems, such as hip or knee pain, heart related issues, movement disorders, or mental health treatment.
When should I start incorporating cancer screenings into my health regimen?
This is highly dependent on your personal and family history and on the type of cancer. For example, men over the age of 65 have a higher likelihood to develop prostate cancer, and women are recommended to begin annual mammograms as early as age 40. Learn more on our Cancer Screening Page.
