Objective.
Higher breast density is a strong, independent risk factor for breast cancer.
Breast density varies by age, ethnicity, and geographic area although dense breast tissue has been associated with younger age and premenopausal status.
The relationship between breast density and age in women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has not been determined.
This study evaluated breast density in the UAE population and its relationship with age.
Methods.
Women participating in the national cancer screening program from August 2015 to May 2018 who underwent screening mammography were included.
Breast parenchymal density was classified according to the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) from category a (almost entirely fatty) through d (extremely dense).
Subjects were divided into six age groups, and the association between age and breast density was evaluated.
Results.
Of the 4911 women included, 1604 (32.7%), 2149 (43.8%), 1055 (21.5%), and 103 (2.1%) were classified as having categories a–d breast density, respectively.
A significant negative correlation was observed between age and breast density category (p<0.001).
Women of mean age 44 ± 7 years had the highest breast density, whereas those of mean age 56 ± 14 years had the lowest breast density.
Comparisons of Emirati women with Lebanese and Western women showed that breast density was lower in Emirati women than in the other populations.
Conclusions.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between mammographic breast density and age in UAE women.
As in other populations, age was inversely related to breast density, but the proportion of Emirati women with dense breasts was lower than in other populations.
Because this study lacked demographic, clinical, and histopathological data, further evaluation is required.
