To determine the relation of mammographic densities to subsequent breast cancer risk, a case-control study was undertaken using prediagnostic mammograms of screening program participants. Mammograms of cases (n = 266) and controls (n = 301) were blindly assessed for mammographic densities, which wer

## Background: There is considerable evidence that one of the strongest risk factors for breast carcinoma can be assessed from the mammographic appearance of the breast. however, the magnitude of the risk factor and the reliability of the prediction depend on the method of classification. subjectiv
## Abstract Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer, but the underlying biology for this association is unknown. Studies suggest that vitamin D may reduce breast cancer risk and dietary vitamin D intake has been associated with reduced breast density. We conducted a caseβcont
