When spouses receive vastly different health screening results at midlife

My husband and I both got comprehensive health screenings as part of turning 50, and while my results were fine, his showed several red flags that require follow-up testing. I can see him withdrawing and minimizing everything while I'm researching and wanting to make action plans, and we're stuck in this dynamic where he won't engage and I can't stop pushing.
