At the multivariable modified Poisson GEE model, women aged 36\u201345\u00a0years were more likely to perceive themselves to be at high risk of developing BC compared to women aged 18\u201325\u00a0years (adjusted prevalence ratio: 1.174; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]\u00a0=\u00a01.05\u20132.88; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value\u00a0=\u00a00.030) after adjusting for age, religion, educational level and residence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Few FDRs of BC patients perceived themselves to be at high risk of developing BC and do not seek risk reduction measures including screening and early diagnosis approaches.
