Prevalence of and factors associated with mammography and prostate-specific antigen screening among World Trade Center Health Registry enrollees, 2015–2016
To compare the prevalence of mammography and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in 9/11-exposed persons with the prevalence among the US population, and examine the association between 9/11 exposures and these screening tests using data from the World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) cohort...

description | To compare the prevalence of mammography and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in 9/11-exposed persons with the prevalence among the US population, and examine the association between 9/11 exposures and these screening tests using data from the World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) cohort. We studied 8190 female and 13,440 male enrollees aged ≥40 years at survey completion (2015–2016), who had a medical visit during the preceding year, had no self-reported breast or prostate cancer, and did not have screening for non-routine purposes. We computed age-specific prevalence of mammography (among women) and PSA testing (among men), and compared to the general population using 2015 National Health Interview Survey data (NHIS). We also computed the adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) to examine the relationship between 9/11 exposures and screening uptakes using modified Poisson regression. Our enrollees had higher prevalences of mammogram and PSA testing than the US general population. 9/11 exposure was not associated with mammography uptake. Proximity to the WTC at the time of the attacks was associated with PSA testing in the age 60–74 group (PR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.00–1.12). Among rescue/recovery workers and volunteers (RRW), being a firefighter was associated with higher PSA testing than other RRW across all age groups (40–49: PR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.16–1.81; 50–59: PR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.22–1.44; 60–74: PR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.06–1.23). Screening activities should be considered when studying cancer incidence and mortality in 9/11 exposed populations. |
