Nationwide cross-sectional adherence to mammography screening guidelines: national behavioral risk factor surveillance system survey results.

Adherence to mammography screening was closest to USPSTF guidelines with 76-81% cross-sectional adherence. Frequency of screening increases with age with highest screening proportions in women ages 65-69 (66% within last year, 81% within last 2 years). For all screening guidelines, adherence to mammography screening remains poor in women with limited access to health insurance with less than half of women obtaining recommended screening.
