Routine health checkups are a key part of staying healthy. Older adults may feel like theyâre always visiting one doctor or another. But what is an acceptable frequency for doctor appointments?
The answer isnât always so cut and dry, and many health professionals have mixed feelings even among themselves over the magic number. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults over the age of 65 visit the doctor more than twice as often as 18- to 44-year-olds. According to Paul Takahashi, a physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., adults should see their primary care physicians at least once a year to make sure diseases are being properly managed and to stay current on preventative screenings.
