Abstract:Objective To probe into the relationships between female breast density and age, BMI and fertility factors. Methods By accepting the digital mammography X-ray examination for 5, 006 female cases and according to the ACR BI-TADS standard in the fourth edition, the breast density assessment was quantified. The relationships of breast density with age, BMI and fertility factors were analyzed. Results There were statistical differences in the breast density among different age groups (P < 0.05). There were statistical differences among the four groups with different breast density in BMI, menarche age, menstrual duration, pausimenia, gravidity and parity history, breastfeeding time and number of live births (P < 0.05); but not in menstrual cycle (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, BMI, pausimenia, number of live births, and breast-feeding time were the influencing factors for breast density. Conclusions Age, BMI, pausimenia, breast-feeding duration and number of live births have effects on breast density.
