One Year of Healthy Aging, Planned Quarter by Quarter
After 50, a handful of things decide how well you age: blood pressure, strength and balance, protein, hearing, vaccines and the screenings that find problems early. This e-book turns them into a yearly routine: an audit in January, the USPSTF screening and vaccine schedule checked against your age, the CDC's STEADI mobility tests with a 12-week strength and balance program, and four quarter plans, with your care team and directives in the back. Delivered instantly as a 45-page fillable PDF e-book, with a free bonus: an online edition of the same e-book for any phone or computer.

Why Most Advice Leaves You More Confused
What’s Inside the Complete System
Every section is authored to provide concrete, fillable tools rather than theoretical filler.
What Matters After 50
Nine levers with the evidence (activity, strength, protein, blood pressure, hearing, vaccines, social contact, sleep, not smoking), the four numbers to know, a protein calculator, bone health and supplements graded.
The Annual Audit
Home blood pressure averaged over seven mornings, BMI, body numbers, blood and urine markers, senses and function, ten habits, and the PHQ-9, GAD-2 and AUDIT-C questionnaires scored.
The Screening and Vaccine Schedule
Every USPSTF screening by grade, age and interval, the ACIP adult vaccines, a record that counts what is due, five shared decisions, test preparation and the trials behind it all.
Strength, Balance and Falls
The CDC STEADI check scored, medicines that raise fall risk, a mobility matrix with the change at week 12, a 12-week strength and balance program, and a room-by-room home check.
Four Quarter Plans
Baseline and bookings, strength and steadiness, fuel and repair, protect and prepare: tasks that count themselves, a worked example, a weekly habit grid and the annual review.
Care Team and Directives
Your care team, questions by visit, hospital discharge and after-a-fall checklists, seven directives with an inventory, values questions, and seven emergencies with what to do.
Three Steps, a Few Minutes a Day
Audit in January
Body numbers, blood markers, senses and habits, on sheets you repeat every year so the trend shows.

Clinical Evidence & Scientific Grounding
Screening ages, intervals and grades follow current US Preventive Services Task Force recommendations; vaccines follow the CDC/ACIP adult schedule (including pneumococcal from 50 and RSV from 75, or 50 to 74 at increased risk). Mobility tests follow the CDC STEADI toolkit; sarcopenia cut-points follow EWGSOP2 (Age Ageing 2019); protein targets follow PROT-AGE (JAMDA 2013) and ESPEN. Key trials include SPRINT (NEJM 2015), the Diabetes Prevention Program (NEJM 2002), ACHIEVE (Lancet 2023), FINGER (Lancet 2015), VITAL (NEJM 2019), COSMOS-Mind (2023), NordICC (NEJM 2022), NLST (NEJM 2011) and Sherrington's Cochrane review of exercise for falls (2019); dementia risk factors follow the 2024 Lancet Commission. PHQ-9, GAD-2 and AUDIT-C are public-domain screening questionnaires.
