cd45 why you changed ur answer
The answer is E.
In order for a screening test to receive sanctioning as a valid procedure, certain basic criteria need to be met:
(1) the disease must be a significant enough public health issue to warrant a screening program;
(2) the test itself must be feasible, not too costly, and not be associated with an unacceptably high rate of falsepositive or negative results;
and (3) the disease must be sufficiently treatable at an early stage so that intervention (during a latency period of goodly length) will improve the outcome.
Actually, very few tests in practice have measured up to these stringent criteria,
chiefly due to lack of prospective data.
Nonetheless, the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force has endeavored to recommend a reasonable battery of screening studies or procedures:
annual blood pressure/height and weight/Pap smear; fecal occult blood testing and/or sigmoidoscopy for those >49 years;
mammography for women between 50 and 70;
total blood cholesterol (men aged 35 to 64; women aged 45 to 64);
and a check for vision and hearing impairment for those >65 years.
