NATIONAL
MEN'S HEALTH WEEK SURVEY
Keeping Up With Regular Tests & Medical Examinations
Most Americans simply aren’t taking the necessary steps to detect serious illness.
Only half the nation’s adults have an annual eye exam, and only about two in five had
their cholesterol checked in last 12 months. More importantly, the nation’s adults
are not getting screened for serious diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Here again, men are less likely than women to take steps toward early detection of
disease, including high cholesterol, cancer or diabetes
