This research sets out to study the interrelationship between breast cancer prevention and the socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral, regional and health factors in determining the temporal frequency of tests for prevention by performing mammograms and breast exams in Brazil. Based on the information of the health supplement of the National Sampling Survey of Domiciles of 2008, a sample that includes only women over age 40 was created. To achieve the desired goal, the estimate of the ordered logit model is used to establish partial proportional odds, which revealed the main results as follows. Women with a good socioeconomic status, living in the more developed regions of the country, family structure including children, making a good self-assessment of health and having been diagnosed with some type of cancer in the past. This is the profile of women who are best at preventing breast cancer, both in relation to the demand for mammograms and to a greater demand for breast exam performed by a doctor or a nurse. The results also point to the fact that the majority of those interviewed had either had the tests in question within the previous year, or had never been exposed to such procedures.
本研究旨在通过对巴西女性进行乳房X光检查和乳房检查，来研究乳腺癌预防与社会经济、人口统计学、行为、地区和健康因素之间的相互关系，以确定预防检查的时间频率。基于2008年全国住户抽样调查的健康补充信息，创建了一个仅包括40岁以上女性的样本。为实现预期目标，使用有序logit模型估计来建立部分比例优势，主要结果如下。社会经济地位良好、生活在该国较发达地区、有子女的家庭结构、对健康有良好自我评估且过去曾被诊断患有某种癌症的女性。这是在乳房X光检查需求和对医生或护士进行乳房检查的更大需求方面，最善于预防乳腺癌的女性特征。结果还表明，大多数受访者要么在过去一年中进行了相关检查，要么从未接受过此类检查。
