The aim of this study was to explore the relationship among socioeconomic factors, breast cancer risk factors, women's adherence to mammography screening, and breast cancer prevalence in La Plata, the capital city of Buenos Aires Province (Argentina), an administrative and University city. We performed a cross‐sectional study of women with low socioeconomic power (low group, LG) and a middle group (MG) from October 2012 to December 2012; 739 women between 45 and 79 years old were personally interviewed, being 360 (MG) and 379 (LG). A structured questionnaire previously validated was employed. Variables included were as follows: socioeconomic group, breast cancer risk and socioeconomic factors, mammographic screening parameters, ever diagnosed breast cancer, Physician Enrollment, and Health System which consists of three sectors: Public (free), Private, and Social/Union Security.
