The statement that is TRUE about preventative care as people get older is:
Older women need to be screened for breast cancer and osteoporosis.
As people age, their preventive care needs do change, and older women are often recommended to undergo screenings for breast cancer (such as mammograms) and osteoporosis (bone density tests) to monitor and maintain their health.
The other statements are not accurate:
- Adults do not have the same preventive care needs as adolescents; their needs differ significantly based on age-related health risks.
- Self-exams can still be useful for older people; they can help with early detection of various cancers.
- Tests of blood and urine are still commonly used and can provide valuable health information; they are not rendered inaccurate simply due to age.
