Baby boomers know what’s important for their health. And they know just as well that they aren’t doing enough to stay healthy.

A survey of more than 1,000 baby boomers commissioned by MDVIP, a personalized health care service, and conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs found that while 94 percent believe that preventative health care is important, three-quarters concede that they should be doing more to manage their health.

Specifically, 46 percent of boomers don’t exercise regularly. Just over a third say they don’t have healthy diets and 37 percent say they get less than seven to eight hours of sleep each night.
