collected. The study population was people who visited hospital-based medical screening center from January to December 2007 and all were female employees or employees" partner.
Results: In logistic regression analysis, smoking and alcohol drinking were significant factors, with odds ratios of 1.328 (95% CI 1.010～1.746) and 1.644 (95% CI 1.309～2.066), respectively. Nutritional supplements was also significant factor, which odds ratio was 1.161 (95% CI 1.004～1.343). Oral contraceptives was positive association with HPV infection (odds ratio 2.108; 95% CI 1.217～3.652), whereas condom was negative association (odds ratio 0.851; 95% CI 0.740～0.979).
Conclusion: HPV Prevalence of 12,377 study population was 11.4%.
