Abstract

AbstractFear of disease may act as a barrier to screening or early diagnosis. This cross-sectional survey of 355 people attending outpatient clinics at one Australian hospital found that cancer (34%) and dementia (29%) were the most feared diseases. Participants aged 65 years and over feared dementia the most.
