(BPT) - ¿Sabía usted que el 90% de los estadounidenses evitan las revisiones médicas o las pruebas de detección recomendadas que podrían identificar y tratar enfermedades graves de forma temprana? La encuesta Wellness Matters de Aflac de 2025 revela los motivos por los que muchas personas evitan el cuidado médico preventivo.
Sorprendentemente, entre los estadounidenses menores de 60 años, las mujeres fueron las más propensas a admitir que se retrasaban las revisiones comunes recomendadas: las mujeres de la generación Z (68% frente al 55% de los hombres de la generación Z); las mujeres millennials (63% frente al 61% de los hombres millennials) y las mujeres de la generación X (63% frente al 54% de los hombres de la generación X).
