Abstract

Background: In this research, premenopausal women with HR-HPV infections and atypical cervical smears were compared by age. Materials and method: 200 regularly screened women between the ages of 36 and 60 had a cervical smear and HPV detection. Demographic, behavioral, and medical data were gathered by telephone surveys. Descriptive analysis was used to look at the connection between HR-HPV infections and cervical aberrations by age.  Results: Age significantly decreased the number of cases of cervical abnormalities, HR-HPV, and human papillomavirus, as well as the correlation among these disorders. In younger females with abnormalities, HR-HPV detection was 60%; however, it steadily decreased to 30% in "50-54-year-old" women, without abnormalities found in 55-60 years old females. Different relationships between HR-HPV infection and anomalies remained found in females over 45, a pattern not observed in females who were young by age. Conclusion: Age had no effect on several kinds of low-grade and severe anomalies, but we saw a decline in the agreement among cytological results and HR-HPV tests.
