Based on the American Academy of Family Physicians Summary of Policy Recommendations for Clinical Preventive Services; Revision 6.3, March 2007
The AAFP Age Charts for Clinical Preventive Services are based on the AAFP Summary of Policy Recommendations for Clinical Preventive Services. For detailed language and further information, consult the Recommendations. The Recommendations describe AAFP policy for a number of periodic health interventions.
These recommendations are provided only as an assistance for physicians making clinical decisions regarding the care of their patients. As such, they cannot substitute for the individual judgment brought to each clinical situation by the patient’s family physician. As with all clinical reference resources, they reflect the best understanding of the science of medicine at the time of publication, but they should be used with the clear understanding that continued research may result in new knowledge and recommendations.
