QuickStats: Estimated Percentage* of Women Aged
>40 Years Who Received a Mammogram During the Preceding 2 Years, by Poverty
Status† --- National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2005
* Estimates by poverty status were age adjusted using the 2000 U.S. standard population and four age groups:
40--49, 50--64, 65--74, and >75 years. Estimates were based on household interviews of a sample of the
noninstitutionalized, U.S. civilian population.
† Poor was defined as annual household income <100% of the poverty threshold, near poor as 100%--199%,
and nonpoor as >200%, based on U.S. Bureau of the Census thresholds.
§ 95% confidence interval.
In 2005, approximately 67% of women aged
>40 years reported they had received a mammogram
during the preceding 2 years. This percentage increased with household income level and ranged from 49%
for women categorized as poor to 72% for women categorized as nonpoor.
