Figure 1. Prevalence estimates of adults aged ≥50 years who were up-to-date for cancer screening and vaccinations by age group, sex, and state, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2002. Data from 49 states and the District of Columbia. Results were divided into quartiles, and the middle two quartiles were combined. Illinois data are not included because the state used a split sample for some preventive service questions.
