Weight and height were measured by a nurse at Wave 4 (two years earlier). Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds of breast and CRC screening (ever) for participants in higher weight categories (Body Mass Index [BMI]\u2009\u2265\u200925) compared with healthy weight individuals (BMI &lt;25), controlling for socio-demographic variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of ELSA participants, 63% reported CRC screening, and 92% of the women reported breast cancer screening. Obesity was associated with lower CRC screening, but effects were strongest for class III obesity (BMI \u226540) (45% screened; OR\u2009=\u20090.48, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.32\u20130.93, P\u2009=\u2009.029).
