Abstract

AbstractNicotine is a known toxin, but its relationship with cervicovaginal high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate whether tobacco exposure is associated with elevated cervicovaginal HR-HPV infection in US women, and if the strength of this association varies with the degree of exposure. Cross-sectional data from the 2011–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which included a nationally representative sample of US women, were used for the study. Out of 12436 women aged 18–59 who participated in the interview, 3833 were ultimately enrolled in this study. Weighted logistic regression was used to estimate the link between tobacco exposure and cervicovaginal HR-HPV infection. The mean age of participants was 38.6 (SD 12.1) years, and non-Hispanic White individuals accounted for 37.3% of the sample. Those with any tobacco exposure tended to be younger (mean age 37.7 [SD 12.4] years vs 40.3 [11.2] years), non-Hispanic Black (27.8% vs. 15.1%), lower educated (41.8% vs. 29.4%), and have lower family income (39.9% vs. 23.5%). After adjustment, the odds of having HR-HPV infection were 1.32 (95% CI, 1.09–1.59) for those exposed to tobacco, remaining significant in multiple sensitivity analyses and across subgroups. This study, based on a nationally representative sample from the United States, suggests that tobacco exposure is a risk factor for elevated HR-HPV infection in women, highlighting the need for further research into reducing this modifiable risk factor.
