Older adults are at highest risk of cancer and yet have the lowest rates of cancer screening participation. Older minority adults bear the burden of cancer screening disparities leading to late stage cancer diagnoses. This investigation, utilization data from the 2008 wave of the Health and Retirement study examined the cultural and emotional factors thought to influence cervical cancer screening among older Hispanic women. We utilized logistic regression models to conduct the analyses. Findings indicate that the emotional factors were not significant but the cultural factor, time orientation was a significant predictor for older Hispanics' cervical cancer screening behaviors.
老年人患癌症的风险最高，但癌症筛查参与率却最低。老年少数族裔成年人承受着癌症筛查差异的负担，这导致了癌症晚期诊断。本调查利用2008年健康与退休研究的数据，研究了被认为影响老年西班牙裔女性宫颈癌筛查的文化和情感因素。我们使用逻辑回归模型进行分析。研究结果表明，情感因素并不显著，但文化因素，即时间取向，是老年西班牙裔女性宫颈癌筛查行为的一个重要预测因素。
