In the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study, smoking was associated with one third the risk of UFs in women with a BMI ≤22.2 kg/m2 compared with women with similar BMI who had never smoked (Figure 3B; Table 1).75 Smoking did not alter UF risk in women with a BMI greater than the median in this study (>22.2 kg/m2; Figure 3B). Martin CL, Huber LR, Thompson ME, Racine EF. Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign smooth muscle tumors [].Fibroids may develop anywhere within the muscular wall of the uterus, including submucosal, intramural, or subserosal positions ().For patients with a pedunculated submucosal fibroid that is contained within the uterine cavity, removal is typically performed using hysteroscopy. Risk Factors: Incidence rates are found to be two-to-three fold greater in African American women, compared to Caucasian woman 1,3. Clinical Pharmacology at the Intersection of Women's Health and Regulation: Drug Development Considerations for Uterine Fibroids. 2020 Jul-Aug;12(4):176-181. doi: 10.4103/ijt.ijt_37_20. In an Italian single‐centre study, women who currently used oral contraceptives were less than one‐third as likely to have UFs as those who had never used them (Table 1).78 Similar protective effects but of smaller magnitude were reported in the Nurses’ Health Study II, in which UF risk was 20% lower in all current oral contraceptive users and 53% lower in those with a history of 4–5 years’ oral contraceptive use than in women who had never used them,46 and in a multicentre case–control study in Thailand, in which UF risk was 24% lower in all women who had ever used oral contraceptives than in those who had never used them.77 In addition, women who had used the injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) were less than half as likely to have UFs than those who had never used it (Table 1).77, Women with hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg or current use of antihypertensive medication, had an almost fivefold increased risk of UFs compared with those with normal blood pressure in a Japanese single‐centre, case–control study (Table 1).80, In a large case–control survey conducted at a hospital in China, exposure to food additives in processed, sweetened or preserved foods increased the risk of UFs more than threefold compared with no exposure (Table 1).81 The same study found that women who consumed soybean milk had a 2.5‐times greater risk of UFs than those who did not (Table 1).81. Metformin use is associated with a lower risk of uterine leiomyoma in female type 2 diabetes patients. In all four studies, black women were found to have a two–threefold greater risk of developing UFs than white women (Figure 3A; Table 1);27, 44, 48, 54 the lower boundary of the 95% CI of the risk (black versus white) was 1.69 or higher in all four studies. Any queries (other than missing content) should be directed to the corresponding author for the article. Black race was the only factor that was shown to be consistently associated with an increased risk of UFs in prospective cohort registry studies.

J Obstet Gynaecol Can. 2008. Over 30 factors relating to demographic characteristics, reproductive and disease status, dietary and other environmental conditions were found to have a significant effect on UF risk (Table S2). It should be noted, however, that 95% of the 95 061 women included in this study were white.

Objectives: To examine UF epidemiology and to evaluate the relative strengths of putative risk factors. In addition, we have evaluated the relative strengths of over 30 factors reported to have a significant effect on UF risk and identified black race as the only factor consistently reported to increase UF risk, and 11 other factors that affect it to a similar or greater magnitude. Protective effects of alpha stone on monosodium glutamate-induced uterine hyperplasia in female wistar rats.

Herein, we review the epidemiology of UL from published studies to date.  |  Epub 2008 Jun 4. Despite the prevalence and significant impact of fibroids, public awareness about the condition is extremely low. In a single‐centre study in Japan, the risk of UFs in women who had given birth three or more times was less than one‐fifth that of nulliparous women (Table 1).79, Use of both oral and injectable contraceptives has also been found to be associated with a reduced risk of developing UFs.

Inverse Association between Iron Deficiency and Glycated Hemoglobin Levels in Ghanaian Adults—the RODAM Study. Although many studies on the epidemiology of UFs have been published, reports of the incidence and prevalence of UFs vary widely depending on the method of diagnosis and the population studied; for example, estimates of the incidence of UFs range from 5.4% to 77% of women of reproductive age.2, 33-38 Furthermore, many different risk factors have been associated with the development of UFs, including biological, demographic, reproductive and lifestyle factors.26, 39-41 The true incidence and prevalence of UFs, and thus their global impact on women's health, and the role of putative risk factors, are therefore currently unknown. CONCLUSION: We found a decreasing trend of new uterine fibroid diagnoses among predominantly symptomatic women ages 18-65 years in a recent 10-year interval. After removal of duplicates, all references were manually screened and categorised. Evaluation of the incidence or prevalence of UFs was not the primary objective of most of the included studies, but they were reported in 51 of them. There was no significant difference in the risk of developing UFs between women of all BMIs who had ever smoked and those who had never smoked (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.5–1.1).75 In three other studies (the California Teachers Study, an Italian single‐centre study and a Thai multicentre study), smoking was found to have a smaller but still statistically significant protective effect in women who currently smoked or had ever smoked compared with those who had never smoked.48, 77, 78 In the Black Women's Health Study, however, smoking status was not found to have a significant effect on UF occurrence.61, Two reproductive factors were found to increase the risk of UFs and three were found to exert a protective effect. Assessing burden, risk factors, and perceived impact of uterine fibroids on women's lives in rural Haiti: implications for advancing a health equity agenda, a mixed methods study. NIH Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice. 2008 Aug;22(4):571-88. doi: 10.1016/j.bpobgyn.2008.04.002. The UF risk factor with the strongest evidence is black race.

In over half the studies (58%; 35/60), participants were self‐selected (e.g. Risk factors. Premenopausal state was associated with a significantly higher UF risk than postmenopausal state, reflecting the role of female gonadal steroid hormones in stimulating UF growth.26, 48, 75, 88 UFs may, however, be under‐reported by postmenopausal women because they do not experience menstruation‐associated symptoms. Incidence increases with age during the reproductive years such that cases occur in 20% to 50% of women older than 30 years. This is the first systematic review of the epidemiology of UFs to analyse the incidence and prevalence of UFs and evaluate the risk factors associated with the condition, and to identify those risk factors with the largest effects.

Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. In the studies that reported the lowest incidences, UF diagnoses were based on self‐report or were confirmed by surgery.48, 71, 72 Most studies, reporting a wide range of incidences from 845 to 3745 cases per 100 000 women‐years, were based on self‐reports of a physician‐made diagnosis after ultrasound or hysterectomy.50, 66 UF incidence was reported to be higher when pelvic examination was included as a diagnostic method than when only ultrasound or hysterectomy was used (Figure 1A, B). There was a marked difference in UF incidence between racial groups, confirming that UFs are much more common in black than in white women (Figure 1B). Over half the studies relied on self‐report and may therefore have been affected by recall bias. We confined our discussion to 11 important risk factors, by selecting those with a magnitude similar to or greater than the well‐established risk factor of race in at least one study (Table 1). Why is parity protective for uterine fibroids? Characterization of the role of Activator Protein 1 signaling pathway on extracellular matrix deposition in uterine leiomyoma. The true incidence and prevalence of uterine fibroids in the general female population are unknown because the condition is frequently asymptomatic and therefore not identified. Independent. Women with a positive family history of UFs were over three times more likely to have UFs than those without such a history (Table 1).77, In contrast, smoking, especially in women with low body mass index (BMI), was negatively associated with UF risk. This analysis supports the finding that black women are at greater risk of UFs than white women. Number of times cited according to CrossRef: Treatment of symptomatic fibroid disease using uterine fibroid embolisation: An Australian perspective. The epidemiology, diagnosis, and natural history of uterine leiomyomas are reviewed here. They are found in approximately 80% of hysterectomy specimens 2. Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common neoplasm affecting women that can cause significant morbidity and may adversely impact fertility. Preface. In total, over 30 broad categories of risk factor for UFs were examined across the studies (Table S2). Uterine fibroids may also have reproductive effects (eg, infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes). Data on UF incidence, prevalence and associated risk factors were extracted from 60 publications.

The copyright line for this article was changed on 12 October 2017 after original online publication. Analyses of the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Black Women's Health Study showed that inclusion of pelvic examination as a diagnostic method in addition to ultrasound or hysterectomy can increase the reporting of UFs compared with ultrasound or hysterectomy alone (Figure 1A).44, 62.

The true incidence and prevalence of uterine fibroids in the general female population are unknown because the condition is frequently asymptomatic and therefore not identified. Objectives: Main results: EAS, CC, RAG and RSR contributed to the design of the study, and the analysis and interpretation of the data. In our systematic review of the epidemiology of UFs, we found wide variations in both the methodology and quality of the 60 selected studies, and also in the epidemiological data they report, with UF incidence ranging between 217 and 3745 cases per 100 000 women‐years and UF prevalence ranging between 4.5% and 68.6%.
