A sad but true fact:
In the US, turning 65 is associated with a statistical bump in cancer diagnosis (see chart), presumably as people transition into Medicare coverage & can suddenly afford testing.🧪

![Description: Two charts showing % change in cancer diagnoses by cancer type and % insured. Both show bumps at age 65.
"Age-over-age percent change trends in cancer diagnoses. Age-over-age growth in the number of cancer diagnoses was calculated with relative percent changecalculations: [(% of cancer diagnoses at age n) – (% of cancer diagnoses at age n – 1)]/(% of cancer diagnoses at age n – 1). (A) For all subjects, there was a significant and abrupt increase in the number of cancer diagnoses at the transition from 64 to 65 years in comparison with all other ages (*P values: lung cancer, <.01; breast cancer, <.001; colon cancer, <.01; and prostate cancer, <.001). (B) According to an examination of patients recorded as insured within the SEER database, there was also a significant spike in the number of cancer diagnoses at the age of 65 years in comparison with any other age.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r643qxafn6b3pxfffiodojbn/bafkreifl7o2lqrt7jwdt6edq334hetaemudf4gkblybyc66oe5ndu3bfxe@jpeg)
