The selected socioeconomic factors in this study were age, educational attainment, job, monthly income, marital status and residential area, and preventive health services were defined the utilizations of flu vaccination in the past year, and general health and cancer screenings in last 2 years. To examine the social disparities in utilization of preventive health services, chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The service utilization rates of flu vaccination, general health and cancer screenings were 34.3%, 77.8%, and 73.6%, respectively. Increasing age, lower educational attainment, being unemployed and living in rural area had higher odds ratios for flu vaccination. Increasing age, lower educational attainment, being employed, increasing monthly income, living with partner and living in urban area were statistically significant associated with receiving general health screening.
