Figure 2. Predicted optimal ages to screen.

Figure 2

The screening objective function is plotted along the z-axes for screening age between ages 10 and 80 and weighting parameters w between 0 and 10 (see Materials and Methods) in certain populations: men in general population (A), men with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms (B), women in general population (C), and women with GERD symptoms (D). The orange line on each 2D contour plot denotes optimal screening ages (obtained by maximizing the screening objective function for each weight, w), for US populations, all races. Orange symbols indicate optimal screening ages for w = 1.
