Relationship Between Mammographic Density and IGF Levels Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to use information collected from the parent study, the Women's Breast and Bone Density study (WBBD)to investigate the relationship between breast density and IGF levels in pre and postmenopausal Hispanic and non-Hispanic White women. The parent study was completed by the May 31, 2003. In all, recruitment was a lower than expected for the Hispanic women, but all recruitment goals were either met or exceed in the non-Hispanic White women. The total numbers are: 60 premenopausal Hispanic women, 75 premenopausal non-Hispanic White women, 28 postmenopausal Hispanic women, and 78 postmenopausal White women. The serum and plasma samples have been collected for the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP) assays used in this study (including IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and Free IGF-1), however, the actual analysis will be completed in October 2003 - November 2003. The. mammographic density measurements are currently being finalized and will be merged with the data collected from questionnaires, physical measurements, and the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. When the laboratory analyses are complete, the results of those tests will be merged with the clean WBBD data so that the analysis can be completed and manuscripts written.
