Résumé
Because of the mixed reports from smaller studies, we examined associations of race with mammographic breast density and evaluated racial differences in the determinants of breast density. Participants included 37 839 women (23 166 non-Hispanic white and 14 673 African American) receiving screening mammograms at the Joanne Knight Breast Health Center at Washington University School of Medicine from June 2010 to December 2015. Mammographic breast density was assessed using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (5th edition). To determine the association of race and participant characteristics with mammographic breast density, we used multivariable polytomous logistic regression models (reference group: almost entirely fatty). African American women had increased odds of extremely dense (adjusted odds ratio = 1.31, 95% confidence interval = 1.13 to 1.52) and reduced odds of heterogeneously dense breasts (adjusted odds ratio = 0.91, 95% confidence interval = 0.84 to 0.99) compared with non-Hispanic white women. Altogether, race, parity and age at first birth, current age, current body mass index (BMI), BMI at age 18 years, menarche, family history of breast cancer, oral contraceptive use, alcohol use, and menopausal status explained 33% of the variation in mammographic breast density. Among African American and non-Hispanic white women, these factors explained nearly 28.6% and 33.6% of the variation in mammographic density, respectively. Current BMI provided the greatest explanation of breast density (26.2% overall, 22.2% in African American, and 26.2% in non-Hispanic white women). The determinants of mammographic breast density were generally similar between African American women and non-Hispanic white women. After adjustments for confounders, African Americans had higher likelihood of extremely dense breasts but lower likelihood of heterogeneously dense breasts. The greatest explanation of breast density was provided by BMI, regardless of race.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Because of the mixed reports from smaller studies, we examined associations of race with mammographic breast density and evaluated racial differences in the determinants of breast density.
METHODS
METHODS
Participants included 37 839 women (23 166 non-Hispanic white and 14 673 African American) receiving screening mammograms at the Joanne Knight Breast Health Center at Washington University School of Medicine from June 2010 to December 2015. Mammographic breast density was assessed using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (5th edition). To determine the association of race and participant characteristics with mammographic breast density, we used multivariable polytomous logistic regression models (reference group: almost entirely fatty).
RESULTS
RESULTS
African American women had increased odds of extremely dense (adjusted odds ratio = 1.31, 95% confidence interval = 1.13 to 1.52) and reduced odds of heterogeneously dense breasts (adjusted odds ratio = 0.91, 95% confidence interval = 0.84 to 0.99) compared with non-Hispanic white women. Altogether, race, parity and age at first birth, current age, current body mass index (BMI), BMI at age 18 years, menarche, family history of breast cancer, oral contraceptive use, alcohol use, and menopausal status explained 33% of the variation in mammographic breast density. Among African American and non-Hispanic white women, these factors explained nearly 28.6% and 33.6% of the variation in mammographic density, respectively. Current BMI provided the greatest explanation of breast density (26.2% overall, 22.2% in African American, and 26.2% in non-Hispanic white women).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The determinants of mammographic breast density were generally similar between African American women and non-Hispanic white women. After adjustments for confounders, African Americans had higher likelihood of extremely dense breasts but lower likelihood of heterogeneously dense breasts. The greatest explanation of breast density was provided by BMI, regardless of race.
