to estimate prevalence and factors associated with having mammography examinations among adult women aged 40 to 59 years old in primary health care services.
a cross-sectional study was performed in 26 health centers in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil; data were collected from March to September 2014; the independent variables described sociodemographic, behavioral and reproductive characteristics, having mammography performed every two years as the outcome.
400 users participated, 57.8% of whom undergo mammography every two years; having the examination was more prevalent among women aged 50-59 years (PR=1.48 - 95%CI 1.25;1.75), those belonging to economic class A/B (PR=1.81 - 95%CI 1.22;2.68) and those who no longer menstruate (PR=1.31 - 95%CI 1.08;1.60).
although the proportion of mammography examinations performed is in keeping with recommended levels, a higher frequency was found among the 50-59 age group belonging to class A/B, suggesting unequal access to this examination.
评估巴西圣埃斯皮里图州维多利亚市26家初级卫生保健机构中40至59岁成年女性进行乳房X光检查的患病率及相关因素。
在巴西圣埃斯皮里图州维多利亚市的26家卫生中心开展了一项横断面研究；于2014年3月至9月收集数据；将社会人口学、行为和生殖特征作为自变量，每两年进行一次乳房X光检查作为结果变量。
400名使用者参与研究，其中57.8%的人每两年进行一次乳房X光检查；在50 - 59岁的女性中（PR = 1.48 - 95%CI 1.25;1.75）、属于经济阶层A/B的女性中（PR = 1.81 - 95%CI 1.22;2.68）以及绝经女性中（PR = 1.31 - 95%CI 1.08;1.60），进行该项检查更为普遍。
尽管乳房X光检查的执行比例符合推荐水平，但在属于A/B阶层的50 - 59岁年龄组中发现了更高的检查频率，这表明在获取该项检查方面存在不平等现象。
