From the Guideline Tracker

Official guidance stacks up by decade

Counted straight from the tracker: how many current USPSTF, CDC, and ACIP recommendations have an age band that reaches into each decade of adult life.

Tracked recommendations in effect, by decade of life 7 20s 8 30s 11 40s 14 50s 16 60s 15 70s 9 80s
Of the 17 screening, immunization, and preventive-medication recommendations in the Guideline Tracker, how many have an age band that includes at least one year of each decade. Counts include sex-specific and risk-group rows, so no single person is in the population for every one; the tracker states who each applies to.

Educational information, not medical advice. VitalDecades explains what current official guidelines and published evidence say, in plain language. It does not diagnose, does not recommend treatment or dosing for you, and is not a substitute for your own clinician. Decisions about your health, including screenings, medications, and the management of any condition, belong with a licensed clinician who knows your history. If this is an emergency, call 911.
