Type of insurance and use of preventive health services among older adults in Mexico.
The main purpose of this study was to assess the differences between Seguro Popular (SP) and employer-based health insurance in the use of preventive services,. It found that SP enrollees were more likely to use screening tests for diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension, and cervical cancer than the uninsured; however, those in employment-based and private insurances had higher odds of using preventive care for most services.
