The association of age at menarche and adult height with mammographic density in the International Consortium of Mammographic Density [PDF]
Background Early age at menarche and tall stature are associated with increased breast cancer risk. We examined whether these associations were also positively associated with mammographic density, a strong marker of breast cancer risk.

Cigarette smoking and mammographic breast density among Polish women [PDF]
Objectives High mammographic breast density (MBD) is one of the strongest breast cancer risk factors. The results of some epidemiological studies suggest that one of the lifestyle factors likely altering breast density is cigarette smoking.

Hormonal determinants of mammographic density and density change [PDF]
Background Mammographic density (MD) is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. We examined how endogenous plasma hormones are associated with average MD area (cm2) and annual MD change (cm2/year).

Mammographic density and inter-observer variability of pathologic evaluation of core biopsies among women with mammographic abnormalities [PDF]
Background As high percentage of mammographic densities complicates the assessment of imaging findings, mammographic density may influence the histopathological evaluation of core-biopsies of the breast.

Epidemiologic Studies of Isoflavones & Mammographic Density [PDF]
Isoflavones, phytoestrogens in soy beans with estrogen-like properties, have been examined for their cancer protective effects. Mammographic density is a strong predictor of breast cancer. This review summarizes studies that have examined the association between isoflavones and breast density.
