Notes.
a
Numbers are frequencies unless labeled with a “%” sign.
b
Treatment can include testing plus treatments, multiple types of treatments, and medical care related to diabetes, prostate issues, or high blood pressure. Testing alone was not considered treatment.
c
This number does not include respondents who partially followed the recommended treatment, which is the reason that this group is smaller than those who did not adhere fully (see Table 3).
