Editorial Policy

How we create, review, and update our health content — with full transparency.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

ActiveHealthyAdults.com is committed to providing health information that is accurate, evidence-based, and clinically reviewed. We understand that health information can directly impact the decisions people make about their bodies and their lives. We take that responsibility seriously.

Content Creation Process

Step 1: Topic Selection

Topics are selected based on their relevance to adults over 50, the availability of high-quality research, and the questions our readers ask most frequently. We prioritize topics where evidence-based information can make a meaningful difference in health outcomes.

Step 2: Research & Writing

All articles are written by credentialed health professionals — registered dietitians, clinical pharmacists, or certified health educators. Writers are required to cite peer-reviewed sources from PubMed, NIH, the CDC, and other authoritative databases. We do not accept articles written by non-credentialed authors for health content.

Step 3: Medical Review

Every article is reviewed by a board-certified physician or licensed healthcare professional before publication. Reviewers check for clinical accuracy, appropriate nuance, and alignment with current evidence-based guidelines. Any claims that cannot be supported by peer-reviewed research are removed or qualified.

Step 4: Publication & Ongoing Updates

Published articles display the author's name, credentials, and the date of the most recent medical review. We review all articles at least annually and update them whenever significant new research is published. The date of the most recent update is displayed on every article.

Sources We Trust

We prioritize the following types of sources when citing health information:

We do not cite press releases, manufacturer claims, or non-peer-reviewed sources as primary evidence for health claims.

Corrections Policy

If we publish information that is later found to be inaccurate, we will correct it promptly and transparently. Significant corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with the date of the correction and a brief description of what was changed. We welcome corrections from readers and healthcare professionals — please use our contact page to report any inaccuracies.
