Prevalence of human papillomavirus infection and its associations with metabolic risk factors in China: a nationwide population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between metabolic risk factors and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is under debate. This study aimed to investigate the associations between metabolic risk factors and HPV infection, while also providing updated data on the prevalence of HPV infection in the post-vaccine era in China.

Methods

This cross-sectional study involved 684,632 adult women who had undergone a standard health screening in 2019. HPV infection prevalence was estimated. Linear and nonlinear associations between HPV infection and metabolic risk factors were assessed, such as body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Results

The standardized prevalence of overall and high-risk HPV infection w
