Abbreviation: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; Pap, Papanicolaou.

a

Adjusted odds ratios are from logistic regression analyses that examined disability status in relation to being up-to-date on cancer screening tests while controlling for race/ethnicity, insurance, having a usual source of health care, general health status, marital status, and education. Colorectal cancer screening models also included sex and age category. General health status was not included in the hearing disability model because it was not significant. Pap test models also were controlled for age category.

b

Values are percentage (95% confidence interval) unless otherwise stated.

c

Women aged 21 to 65 years who had a Pap test within the past 3 years. Data on Pap tests were available for 5,884 women.

d

Women aged 50 to 74 years who had a mammogram within the past 2 years. Data on mammograms were available for 3,441 women.

e

Adults aged 50 to 75 years who had a high-sensitivity fecal occult blood test within the past 12 months, a sigmoidoscopy within the past 5 years with a high-sensitivity fecal occult blood test within the past 3 years, or a screening colonoscopy within the past 10 years. Data on colorectal cancer screening were available for 6,472 men and women.

f

Colonoscopy within the past 10 years among adults with known disability status who reported being up-to-date with colorectal cancer screening (n = 3,677).
