Objective: To investigate the epidemiological status of uterine leiomyoma in Xinghua area of Jiangsu Province, and to analyze the risk factors of disease, provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of uterine leiomyoma.Methods: Patients with uterine leiomyoma diagnosed in XinghuaPeople's Hospital from June 2016 to May 2018 and subjects who received health examinations at the same time in the hospital's physical examination center were selected for epidemiological studies using case-control studies. The questionnaire was surveyed, the results were entered into the database, and the data were analyzed by single factor and multivariate logistic regression, and follow-up was performed.Results: A total of 1 273 women were included in the study, including 213 women with uterine leiomyomas (case group) and 1 060 healthy women (control group). There was no significant difference in age, marital status, number of pregnancies and complications, physical exercise, alcohol consumption, and family history of uterine disease between the two groups (all P>0.05). However, body mass index (P=0.043), education (P=0.041), smoking (P=0.030), frequent intake of caffeine (P=0.019), frequent consumption of milk or soy food (P=0.025), the frequent use of oral contraceptives (P=0.034), these results were statistically different between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that frequent consumption of soy foods (OR=7.349,95% CI 5.081-9.454,P=0.039) and frequent use of oral contraceptives (OR=8.103,95% CI 4.486-12.583,P=0.018) were independent risk factors of uterine leiomyoma.Conclusion: Frequent consumption of soy foods, as well as frequent use of oral contraceptives, can lead to high risk of uterine fibroids, and it is recommended in clinical practice to conduct appropriate prevention education for uterine leiomyoma. |
