Estimated cohort rate ratios with JoinPoint analysis for primary invasive female breast cancer incidence among non-Hispanic White women (stars) and non-Hispanic Black women (diamonds), using single-year SEER 13 data for ages 30 to 84 and calendar years 1992 to 2014. Age-period-cohort forecasting models estimate cohort-specific age-specific incidence for observed and forecast years (2015–2030) using estimated age-specific incidence for the 1957 reference birth cohort (data not shown) multiplied by the observed (1908–1984) and future (1985–2000) birth cohort relative risks as shown. The JoinPoint model for non-Hispanic White women has four statistically significant segments, and the model for non-Hispanic Black women has three. Shaded bands show point-wise 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the cohort rate-ratios for the observed and future cohorts. For more details on projections, see Best et al. 2018 [4].
