    Abstract Introduction: Routine checkup is a form of preventive medicine, it's a helpful practice to promote health in the community. Studying the prevalence of routine checkup, awareness, influencing, and preventing factors for it in our community will be a helpful tool for the health authorities to promote among individuals.
    Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in different locations of Riyadh using a convenience sampling technique, with sample size of 414 Saudi participants of both genders aged 36 years old and above. The data were collected through self-administered structured questionnaire with demographic variables, frequency of routine medical checkup, knowledge questions, factors that enhance or prevent individual to do routine checkup and best way to spread the awareness.
    Results: Two hundred eighty-eight (69.57%) participants knew well about routine checkup and 142 (34.3%) of them do routine medical checkup. "Lack of time" and "Laziness" were reported as the 2 most common preventing factors (46% and 45.2%), respectively, and most common reason that influenced their practice was "health concern" (77.5%) followed by "worry about chronic or serious illness" (32.4%). Participants believed that social networks (eg, twitter, Facebook, etc) and media (eg, TV, radio) are most effective ways to spread awareness of it in the community (53.86% and 52.89%, respectively).
    Conclusion: There was high level of knowledge on routine health checkup, but a low prevalence was observed in practice. Hence, more health initiatives should be taken for routine medical screening in the Saudi community.

    Abstract Background: Cancer is one of the most common causes of death among morbidly obese individuals. Obese individuals have a well-documented increased risk of colon cancer. No guidelines are available for the workup of bariatric surgery patients in relation to colon cancer.
    Methods: The indications for screening colonoscopy at the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute Abu Dhabi (BMI Abu Dhabi) include all patients older than 50 years [40 years if patients are United Arab Emirates (UAE) nationals] with unexplained abdominal symptoms, anemia of unknown cause, or a family or personal history of colonic pathology. This study retrospectively reviewed the charts of all the patients who had colonoscopy during the period January 2009 to January 2013. The patients were divided into two groups: group A [patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m(2)] and group B (patients with a BMI < 30 kg/m(2)). The demographics and the prevalence of polyps and cancer in the two groups were compared.
    Results: During the study period, 341 colonoscopies were performed: 137 for patients with a BMI higher than 30 kg/m(2) (mean age, 44 years) and 204 for patients with a BMI lower than 30 kg/m(2) (mean age, 46 years) (P > 0.05). The overall prevalence of adenomatous polyps was 6.74 % and that of cancer was 1.75 %. Further analysis showed that the prevalences of adenomatous polyps and cancer were respectively 12.4 and 2.1 % for the patients with a BMI higher than 30 kg/m(2), whereas the prevalences were respectively 2.9 and 0.9 % for the patients with BMI lower than 30 kg/m(2) (P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The risk for the development of colonic adenomatous polyps and cancer is high among young obese individuals in the Middle East. Guidelines are needed to establish criteria for screening in this group of individuals.

    Abstract Purpose: To document the mammographic breast density (MBD) distribution of Jordanian women and the relationship with MBD with age. Correlation between breast cancer diagnosis and density was also explored.
    Methods: A retrospective review of 660 screening mammograms from King Abdullah University Hospital was conducted. Mammograms were classified into 2 groups: normal (return to routine screening) and breast cancer and rated using the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5th edition for MBD. The association between MBD and age was assessed by descriptive analyses and Kruskal-Wallis test. To compare between normal and breast cancer groups, chi-square post hoc tests with Bonferroni adjustment was used.
    Results: Groups consisted of 73.9% (n = 488) normal group and 26.1% (n = 172) breast cancer group. A significant inverse relationship was demonstrated between age and MBD among the normal (
    Conclusions: Most of women in both the normal and breast cancer groups evidenced increased MBD. Increased MBD was inversely proportional to age. As MBD has a known link to increased breast cancer risk and the decreased sensitivity of mammography and it is vital that future screening guidelines for Jordanian women consider the unique breast density distribution of this population.

  10. Article ; Online: The implications of increased mammographic breast density for breast screening in Jordan.

    Al-Mousa, Dana S / Alakhras, Maram / Spuur, Kelly M / Alewaidat, Haytham / Abdelrahman, Mostafa / Rawashdeh, Mohammad / Brennan, Patrick C

    Abstract: ... to explore its relationship with age.: Methods: Mammograms completed at King Abdullah University Hospital ...

    Abstract Introduction: Mammographic breast density is associated with a four to six times increased risk for breast cancer. Mammographic breast density varies by ethnicity, geographical region and age. The aim of this study was to document for the first time the mammographic breast density of Jordanian women and to explore its relationship with age.
    Methods: Mammograms completed at King Abdullah University Hospital (Irbid, Jordan) between January 2016 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed and classified for breast density using the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). Descriptive analyses and Kurskal-Wallis test were used to examine the association between age and mammographic breast density.
    Results: A total of 659 mammograms were reviewed. A significant inverse relationship was observed between age and breast density (P < 0.001). In women aged 40-49 years, 83.2% had dense breasts (ACR BI-RADS (c) and (d)). This percentage decreased to 59.8% of women aged 50-59 years; 38.4% of women in their 60s and 37.9% of women aged 70 years or older (ACR BI-RADS (c) only).
    Conclusion: The mammographic breast density of Jordanian women has been shown to be high across all age groups. Increased mammographic breast density is associated with increased breast cancer risk and renders mammography a less effective technique for the early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer screening of Jordanian women should be individualised to develop screening protocols and include additional adjunct imaging to best manage women at high risk.
