she wasn't swayed by a recommendation that suggested most women don't need it until age 50. >> i would rather have it. i think it's great to do it early because if there is something wrong they catch it early on. >> now, a new study has come down on jacqueline's side but with a twist. >> we found how often a woman should have a mammogram depends on the risk of getting breast cancer. there is an area of density. >> he and his colleagues examined various risk factors, including density. with higher density is at higher risk. >> greater chance that some of the cells and tissues will result in breast cancer. that is probably the breast cancer is strong risk for breast

cancer. >> the denser tissue is visible as more solid looking patches. raid yol jists can rate it on one to four, one being the lowest density and four the highest. >> but to get that information, the bay area research team issued a key recommendation that women should have a baseline mammogram at age 40. >> they can make a screening plan based on woman's history. women with higher risk can opt to get it every two years but lower risk women can have less screenings that come with overscreening. >> we hope this is widely adopted because it's simple and makes sense. get a mammogram at age 40 to help determine your risks. once you know your risks you can make decisions about whether to continue mammograms. >> he says the system would give patients more power to weigh their options.

>> i think it would be great as long as they do have statistics to show that it works. they say to be clear, breast density is part of the formula. they weigh the history in the family and whether she had a previous biopsy. i hope you enjoyed your 4th of july but now it's the 5th of july. >> a little more fog you can see in the san bruno gap one of low lying valleys that allows some of the cooler weather coming in from the ocean and some of the fog rolling in through that neighborhood. beautiful picture this morning from sutro tower. let's talk about the temperatures. you see the coolest along the coast. half moon bay, 48 degrees and visibility less than half a mile. be careful there. san francisco 52 and we have mid to upper 50s until you get to fairfield, livermore and mountain view and san jose. low clouds and fog around the
