• ... that more than 40% of women have dense breast tissue that increases the risk of breast cancer and makes it difficult for mammograms to identify tumors? Source: "Overall, 43.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 43.1% to 43.4%) of women 40 to 74 years of age had heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts, and this proportion was inversely associated with age and BMI."

• @Silver seren: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. However, I am not completely happy about the hook because the whole article seems to be about the United States, with no global perspective, while the hook extrapolates the research to all women. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

• The legislation part is about the United States, yes. More should be added there as sources are found. But the rest of the article is just about women in general. So the percentage does relate to all women. Silverseren^C 20:55, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
