Relevant Population Characteristics for Routine Medical Care Visits
Relevant Population Characteristics
In 2018, among adults, women (72.8%) had a higher age-adjusted rate of having a routine check-up in the past 12 months than men (66.9%). This difference is a result presumably of childbearing and other reproductive health-related issues. Older Utahns aged 65 and over, who are at greater risk for a chronic medical condition, were more likely to report a routine check-up (87.4% in 2018) than were younger adults.
