Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Analysis of mammogram in the last 2 years was restricted to women eligible for breast cancer screening (n = 2430). Analysis of cervical smear in the last 3 years was restricted to women eligible for cervical cancer screening (n = 5036). Missing data were excluded.
