  1. Mammography Evaluation Cohort data are from the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort, 2005–2010. Women in the mammogram screening program are the reference group. RR calculated for women who reported never having a mammogram (never) and those who only had mammograms outside the screening program (outside program).
  2. *Age groups: 52–55, 56–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–79.
