Morphology
The phrase combines 'breast' (a body part) and 'health' (state of being free from illness) in a straightforward compositional way, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the condition or well-being of the breasts, including prevention and detection. This body-part + health construction is common in medical and everyday language across languages, supporting full transparency.
Etymology
Breast health comes from the simple idea of caring for the breast so it stays in good health. That's why today it usually means looking after breasts to 'prevent disease' and to 'find problems early'.
