Examines associations of selected demographic, insurance, health care, health history, and health practice variables with frequency of screening mammograms received during the past 5 years. Telephone interviews were conducted with 350 women aged 40 through 69, never diagnosed with breast cancer, and identified through random digit dialing in Connecticut. Of 10 variables showing bivariate associations with receiving mammograms as frequently as recommended by National Cancer Institute guidelines, younger age, having a first-degree relative with breast cancer, and having annual clinical breast examinations were statistically significant independent predictors in logistic regression analyses of regular utilization of mammography during the past 5 years. In additional logistic analyses, having regular clinical breast exams maintained a strong effect on the odds both of having any mammograms and, among respondents reporting any mammograms, of having the recommended number during the past 5 years. Frequency of breast self-examination was unrelated to frequency of mammograms.
研究选定的人口统计学、保险、医疗保健、健康史和健康行为变量与过去5年接受乳腺钼靶筛查频率之间的关联。对350名年龄在40至69岁之间、从未被诊断出患有乳腺癌的女性进行了电话访谈，这些女性是通过在康涅狄格州随机拨号确定的。在10个与按照美国国立癌症研究所指南建议的频率接受乳腺钼靶检查存在双变量关联的变量中，年龄较小、有一位患乳腺癌的一级亲属以及进行年度临床乳腺检查，在过去5年乳腺钼靶常规使用情况的逻辑回归分析中是具有统计学意义的独立预测因素。在额外的逻辑分析中，进行定期临床乳腺检查对过去5年进行任何乳腺钼靶检查的几率以及在报告进行了任何乳腺钼靶检查的受访者中进行建议次数检查的几率都有很强的影响。乳房自我检查的频率与乳腺钼靶检查的频率无关。
