Summary: This study investigated the epidemiological characteristics of high-risk HPV in Zhejiang province, China, and found a significant association between HPV16 infection and cervical lesions. The presence of HPV16/18 was also linked to increased risk of developing high-grade cervical lesions and cancer progression in this population. These findings underscore the importance of HPV testing in early screening and prevention of cervical cancer.

Summary: The tissue tropism of human papillomavirus (HPV) is determined by its oncogenic potential, with high-risk (HR) types primarily infecting the cervix and low-risk (LR) types primarily infecting the vagina. These findings suggest that tissue tropism of certain HPV types may play a role in malignant progression.

Summary: The study found variations in penile HPV infection prevalence among US males by race/ethnicity and age, with Black males and older age groups exhibiting higher prevalence. Even after controlling for confounders, certain populations still showed significantly elevated HPV infection prevalence.

Summary: The overall prevalence of oral HPV infection among healthy adults aged above 20 in northern China was 4.08%. The most prevalent HPV type detected was HPV-81 (1.35%), followed by HPV-16 (0.64%). Oral HPV infection exhibited a bimodal pattern with respect to age in both male and female participants. The prevalence of oral HPV infection was significantly higher in males than females (5.0% versus 3.6%, P = 0.041). Current smokers (OR = 1.59; P = 0.039) and current drinkers (OR = 1.60; P = 0.023) had a higher prevalence of oral HPV infection. Current alcohol consumption was independently associated with oral HPV infection (OR = 1.74; P = 0.010).

Summary: The study investigated the impact of cervical oncogenic HPV detection on pregnant adolescents and clarified the prevalence and risk factors. The findings revealed a high prevalence of cervical HPV detection in pregnant adolescents, with a significant association with the number of lifetime partners, religion, and education level. However, the detection did not influence obstetric and neonatal outcomes.

Summary: This study examined the risk factors associated with HPV persistence and cervical lesions in a Mexican population. Results revealed that the risk factors for multiple non-16/18 HR-HPV infections are similar to those for HPV-16 infections.

Summary: This study investigated the age-specific prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV in Northwest China. The overall infection rate of HPV was 22.97%, with a bimodal distribution pattern observed among different age groups. The most common HPV genotypes were HPV 16, 58, 52, 53, and 61. Age was found to be closely related to the epidemiology of different HPV genotypes.

Summary: In Pakistani female population, oral HR-HPV positive infection is not uncommon, with HPV16 and HPV18 being the most common genotypes. The study also suggests that oral HR-HPV infection is significantly associated with sexual behaviors.

Summary: Despite reports of high prevalence rates among African women, there are regional variations in HPV prevalence worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of genital HPV and associated risk factors among women in Lagos, Nigeria. The results showed a high HPV prevalence, highlighting the need for public awareness and early detection tests, treatment, and vaccination to prevent an increase in cervical cancer cases in Lagos, Nigeria.

Summary: This study aimed to discover the most prevalent high-risk HPV genotypes in Loreto and La Libertad, Peru. Results showed an HPV incidence of 15.9% and 14.5% in the two regions respectively, with high-risk HPV types 16 and 35 being the predominant genotypes.

Summary: The prevalence of any HPV, high-risk HPV, and non-high-risk HPV decreases with age in a cohort of women born between 1950 and 1979, indicating that the decline in HPV prevalence cannot be solely attributed to birth cohort differences.

Summary: The development of high-throughput omics technologies presents a valuable opportunity for evidence-based prevention of adverse health effects, although accessibility to multi-omics tests remains limited in Italy. The emerging field of public health genomics, including polygenic scores, epigenetic modulation, nutrigenomics, and microbiomes implications, has significant implications for disease prevention. The implementation of omics tools at a national level could lead to significant population health gains, especially if effectiveness is assessed in the medium to long term.
