Objective:
To evaluate the correlation between mammography screening coverage in women from 50 to 69 years old and the socioeconomic indicators Human Development Index (HDI) and Gini Index.
Methods:
Epidemiological, retrospective and ecological study carried out in Brazil with secondary data. The sample is made up of 5565 municipalities in Brazil. As a dependent variable: the ratio of screening mammography examinations performed in women aged 50 to 69 years, from 2008 to 2015, and as independent variables: The Human Development Index (HDI) and the Gini Index. Descriptive analysis, univariate and bivariate spatial analysis were performed.
Results:
North, Northeast and Center-West are regions that are more propitious for breast cancer, due to the low access for mammograms.
Conclusion:
The HDI and the Gini index, determinants of inequalities, directly influence the mammography numbers in Brazil, highlighting the importance of evaluating public policies.
