The analytic sample included 10\u202f508 male respondents aged 55 to 69 years with complete PSA testing and disability data; analyses incorporated BRFSS survey weights to generate nationally representative estimates. Data were analyzed from October 2024 to May 2025.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Any disability and disability types (mobility, cognitive, hearing, vision, self-care, independent living) measured using the standard 6-question sequence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n The main outcome was self-reported PSA testing, assessed using BRFSS PSA items. Survey-weighted logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AORs), controlling for sociodemographic factors, insurance, comorbidities, and health behaviors, with multiple imputation for missing covariates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The weighted analytic sample represented 5\u202f058\u202f866 US men aged 55 to 69 years; 29.6% reported at least 1 disability. Overall, 62.7% (95% CI, 61.1%-64.3%) reported prior PSA testing, with lower testing among men with disabilities than among those without (57.2% [95% CI, 54.2%-60.2%] vs 65.1% [95% CI, 63.2%-67.0%];\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In adjusted survey-weighted models, disability was associated with lower odds of PSA testing (AOR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69-0.99). Among disability types, mobility disability was associated with lower testing (AOR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.62-0.96). In an unweighted sensitivity analysis, the association between any disability and lower PSA testing remained significant (AOR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77-0.98).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this nationally representative cross-sectional study of US men aged 55 to 69 years, disability status was associated with lower PSA testing, with the most consistent disparity observed among men with mobility disability. These findings suggest disability, particularly mobility impairment, may be an under-recognized determinant of preventive care and may warrant targeted interventions to improve equitable access to shared decision-making and screening services.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2026.27708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T15:00:20Z","timestamp":1786374020000},"page":"e2627708","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Disability Status and Prostate Cancer Screening Among US Men Aged 55 to 69 Years"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 I.","family":"Nolazco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Mass General Brigham, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Servicio de Urolog\u00eda, Hospital Universitario Austral, Universidad Austral, Pilar, Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa I.","family":"Iezzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Health Policy Research Center, Mongan Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugene C.","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyse R.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Research Center, Mongan Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Division of Sleep Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael S.","family":"Leapman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khalid Y.","family":"Alkhatib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy Y.
