Wellness Month Senior Health newsletter
Celebrating Seniors During National Wellness Month
Based on an online survey by M/A/R/C® Research, an overwhelming majority of seniors (65-85 years) proactively manage their health.
- 51% Agree information on activity levels and calories burned would motivate them to get healthier
- 55% Are willing to change their habits to get healthier
- 67% Agree that being healthy does not require too much time and effort
Half of the seniors in our online survey use a medical or wearable device. Those with medical devices would share information with:
- Primary care provider - 100%
- Another medical professional - 70%
- Health insurance company - 61%
Three-quarters of seniors consider themselves partners with their healthcare providers and agree it’s beneficial to health insurance companies if the people they cover are healthy. Most welcome receiving online information from health insurance companies about special programs (health/wellness, specialized care, mail pharmacy).
