Table 3.

Percentage of men aged 50 years and older receiving a PSA test in the past year according to LDS status and age

LDS Age Group
Status 50–59 60–69 70+* 50+
LDS 134/240 (55.8%) 151/212 (71.2%) 116/162 (71.6%) 401/614 (65.3%)
NonLDS 54/102 (52.9%) 37/59 (62.7%) 28/43 (65.1%) 119/204 (58.3%)

*Because of small numbers among nonLDS in the age group 80+, age groups 70–79 and 80+ were combined. Bold-typed represent significantly greater PSA testing among LDS compared with nonLDS, based on a one-sided hypothesis test and the 0.05 level of significance.
