[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS aQFthR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors examined mammography use according to family cancer history and identified predictors of recent use (<=2 years). Framingham Offspring Study participants in Framingham, Massachusetts, aged 40-79 years, completed a breast health questionnaire in 1996-1997. The study sample of women included 141 with a first-degree relative with breast cancer, 221 with a mother or sister (s) with other cancers, and 331 with a mother and sister (s) who participate in the Framingham Heart Study and did not report a history of cancer. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of recent mammography use. Among women with a family breast cancer history, 98% reported mammography use compared with 95% of other women. Recent mammography use was higher in women with a family breast cancer history (93%) compared with women with a family history of other cancer (80%) and women without a family history of cancer (84%) (p=0.004). Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for significant predictors of recent mammography use were as follows : family history of breast cancer, 3.2 (95% confidence interval (CI) : 1.4,7.7) ; recent clinical breast examination, 17.4 (95% Cl : 9.2,32.8) ; and smoking, 0.4 (95% Cl : 0.2,0.7). Mammography use was high among women with a family breast cancer history.
