Cross-sectional analysis observes income's impact on cancer screening in older adults, suggesting targeted interventions.
Health literacy significantly mediated the relationship between income and cancer screening participation from the mid-50s onward, with progressively greater contributions at older ages. These findings support age-differentiated strategies, including structural accessibility improvements for adults in their 40s and early 50s and integrated income-health literacy interventions for individuals aged ≥55 years. Experimental studies are warranted to confirm these associations.
