Prevalence and associated factors of mammography uptake among the women aged 45 years and above: policy implications from the longitudinal ageing study in India wave I survey
Low rates of mammography among women across the country, along with inter-state disparities, highlight inadequate coverage of early detection of breast cancer under National program. Increasing burden of breast cancer in all states underscores need to implement early detection program proactively. Disparities in mammography uptake by age, residence and co-morbidities reflect the need for special focus and context-specific research for pragmatic interventions.
