“…In this study, the cancer screening rate of females was significantly higher than that of males, which is consistent with the findings of Lee (2008) and Sung et al (2005) Gender has been known to influence not only physical and psychological health but also health-related behavior (Valentiny et al, 2012). Therefore, policies that aim to increase the cancer screening rate among the elderly should take gender into consideration.…”

Further, the tendency of men to have a lower awareness and/or willingness to undergo health checkups may be another cause.…”

“…In 1999, the Korean government created the NCSP and established a 10-year plan for cancer control [11]. The NCSP provided free cancer screening services for stomach, breast, and cervical cancers to medical aid recipients between 1999 and 2001 [12]. In 2002, coverage of free cancer screening was expanded to NHI beneficiaries within the lowest 20% income bracket, and in 2003, those within the lowest 30% income bracket were included in the target population.…”
