Objective: to examine factors associated with changes in mammograms. Method: in this cross-sectional study of 145 women receiving care under the family health strategy in a municipality in northwestern Paraná, Brazil, data were collected by semi-structured interviews between August 2014 and October 2015 and analyzed using Pearson’s Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. The project was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the women were of mean age 52.5 years. Those who were white (OR = 0.17), nulliparous (OR = 4.53), with alterations at self-examination (OR = 12.72), clinical examination (OR= 35.75) and a history of previous problems (OR = 9.45) presented a greater likelihood of changes in mammography. Conclusion: the factors associated with altered mammography were white skin color, nulliparity, alterations during self-examination and clinical examination, and a previous breast problem.
