In Reply We thank Cronin and Berry for their letter and for the opportunity to elaborate on our findings beyond the space limitation associated with our publication.¹ We respectfully disagree that we have misinterpreted the age distribution data. We contend that an intervention policy that considers only age-associated incidence rates may be incomplete when it comes to health issues in nonwhite populations given the differences in disease patterns.

关于乳腺癌的年龄分布-答复

在答复中，我们感谢Cronin和Berry的来信，并感谢有机会详细阐述我们的发现，超出了与出版物相关的篇幅限制。¹我们尊重不同意我们误解了年龄分布数据。我们认为，考虑到疾病模式的差异，仅考虑与年龄相关的发病率的干预政策在涉及非白人人群的健康问题时可能是不完整的。
