[Frequency of @entity1083 of the uterine cervix among perimenopausal XXXX in Wielkopolska Region].

@entity1 @entity5 @entity1083 @entity3799 @entity1082 @entity3 @entity105
OBJECTIVES: @entity1082 ) is one of the main causes of cervical @entity5 . There is now consistent evidence that @entity1082 ) has a causal role in the etiology of @entity5 and that sexual habits and reproductive/hormonal factors are associated with the risk of @entity3 . In our investigation we estimated the frequency of @entity1083 in uterine cervix in @entity1 gathered in perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We screened 90 @entity1 in western Poland to obtain cytological smears, and tested all smears for 33 types of HPV with a polymerase chain reaction-based system. All @entity1 were classified according to age into three groups. RESULTS: @entity1083 peaked in the group of 45 to 49 year old (48.5% using universal starters) and decreased in 56 year or olders (26.1% using universal starters) with predominantly non- @entity5 -associated types of HPV and uncharacterized HPV types. CONCLUSIONS: We confirm the decline of @entity1083 with age. But note increased prevalence after menopause, which could be related to a second peak of HSILs, an observation that warrants further investigation. At least 80% of HPVs involved in cervical @entity105 in this population have been characterized. Polyvalent vaccines including the main @entity5 -associated HPV types may be able to prevent most cases of @entity3799 in this region.
