Primarily post-menopause, though some women (especially those with a family history) get it in their 40s, which is why some people recommend starting mammograms at age 40. That being said, it is certainly possible to get in even in your 30s, but it's rare. Usually to see it earlier than that would be due to a genetic mutation, in which case you'd have a very, very strong famliy history of breast cancer. Almost all lumps in women under 30 are benign, but still let your doctor check it out.
