Abstract EN
HPV genotypes have distinct distributions among various ethnic populations worldwide.
In December 2013, 237 and 159 cervical samples were collected from Hani and Han ethnic women, respectively, in Mojiang, a rural county in southern Yunnan.
The overall HPV infection rate (21.1%) among the Hani women was significantly higher than that among the Han women (12.6%).
The high-risk (HR) and low-risk (LR) HPV and single- and multiple-genotype infection rates among the Hani women were 11.0%, 4.6%, 15.6%, and 5.5%, respectively.
HPV-16 (3.8%) was the most prevalent genotype among the Hani women, followed by HPV-52 (1.7%), HPV-31 (0.8%), and HPV-33 (0.8%).
Comparatively, the Han women had lower infection rates of high-risk (8.2%), low-risk (1.2%), single-genotype (9.4%), and multiple-genotype HPV infections (3.1%).
HPV-16 (3.1%) was also the predominant genotype among the Han women, followed by HPV-52 (1.3%), HPV-33 (0.6%), HPV-44 (0.6%), and HPV-54 (0.6%).
The area background, number of children, and past history of STIs were recognized as potential risk factors for HPV infection.
Rural background, age, education level, number of children, and illness history were significantly associated with HPV infection among the Hani women.
These findings highlight the urgent need for HPV prevention and control strategies in Yunnan, particularly for the Hani ethnic women.
