Factors associated with mammographic breast density among women in Karachi Pakistan – BMC Women’s Health
Background There are no studies done to evaluate the distribution of mammographic breast density and factors associated with it among Pakistani women. Methods Participants included 477 women, who had received either diagnostic or screening mammography at two hospitals in Karachi Pakistan. Mammographic breast density was assessed using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. In person interviews were conducted using a detailed questionnaire, to assess risk factors of interest, and venous blood was collected to measure serum vitamin D level at the end of the interview.
