Trends in Mammography Use Among Women Aged 40 to 74 Years in the US, 2002-2022

How has mammography use among US women changed over time?In this cross-sectional study of more than 2 million US women, mammography use did not significantly decline in the overall population from 2002 to 2022. However, biennial declines were significant among non-Hispanic White women aged 40 to 49 years, uninsured women, and current smokers.Declining mammography use among subgroups of younger US women underscores the need for clear, risk-based screening communication and targeted strategies to support guideline-concordant decision-making.
