Screening for breast cancer utilizing mammography is associated with reduced advanced cancer diagnosis and reduced breast cancer mortality. We aimed to assess the lifetime history of breast cancer screening utilization for Jordanian women aged 40 and 49 years and determinants of this utilization.
This paper reports the analyzed data from the seventh cycle of the Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS). For this study, the analysis was confined to 4486 women aged between 40 and 49 years at the time of data collection who reported their nationality as Jordanian. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess whether any socio-demographic variables could predict greater breast cancer screening utilization.
Only 14% of all respondents aged 40-49 years reported ever having a mammogram. Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that area of residence, husband's level of education, younger age, and living in a wealthy status were strong predictors of lifetime history of breast cancer screening.
This study elucidates that breast cancer screening mammography among Jordanian women has remained opportunistic and underutilized despite the efforts of national entities to promote screening and early detection of breast cancer.
.: There is a geographic and social disparity in the utilization of mammography screening among Jordanian women.
利用乳腺钼靶筛查乳腺癌与晚期癌症诊断减少及乳腺癌死亡率降低相关。我们旨在评估40至49岁约旦女性乳腺癌筛查利用的终生史及其利用的决定因素。
本文报告了约旦人口与家庭健康调查（JPFHS）第七轮分析的数据。对于本研究，分析仅限于数据收集时年龄在40至49岁之间、报告其国籍为约旦的4486名女性。我们使用多变量逻辑回归分析来评估是否有任何社会人口统计学变量可以预测更高的乳腺癌筛查利用率。
所有40 - 49岁的受访者中，只有14%报告曾进行过乳腺钼靶检查。多变量逻辑回归结果显示，居住地区、丈夫的教育水平、年龄较小以及处于富裕状态是乳腺癌筛查终生史的有力预测因素。
本研究表明，尽管国家实体努力促进乳腺癌筛查和早期检测，但约旦女性中乳腺癌筛查钼靶检查仍属机会性且利用不足。
.: 约旦女性在乳腺钼靶筛查利用方面存在地理和社会差异。
