City: City of Houston
Measurement Period: 2020

This indicator shows the percentage of men aged 65 and older who received recommended clinical preventive services during the past year. 

This includes: an influenza vaccination in the past year; a PPV ever; and either a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) within the past year, a sigmoidoscopy within the past 5 years and a FOBT within the past 3 years, or a colonoscopy within the past 10 years.
Data on all services in the core set are not available every year given the rotating core questions on BRFSS. The indicator should not be assumed to cover all recommended clinical preventives services for this age group.

Why is this important?

Utilizing appropriate clinical and preventive services can have important implications on the progression and treatment of many diseases. Individuals aged 65 and older who receive recommended clinical preventive services in a timely manner have greater opportunity to prevent disease or detect disease during earlier, treatable stages.
