NOTE: Death rates are for 1996 to 2000 and incidence rates are for 1995 to 2000. Rates are expressed per 100,000 men and are standardized to the U.S. 2000 population.

PSA test in the preceding year in men ages ≥50 years with no history of prostate cancer based on 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Data (7).

†

Statistics could not be calculated for incidence and death rates because there were <25 cases or deaths and for PSA testing because there were ≤20 respondents in the survey.
