“…Our study results are generally consistent with prior research on health disparities among Latinas in general and Puerto Ricans in particular (Black et al, 1999;Ennis et al, 2011;Hamilton et al, 2015;Gonz alez et al, 2015;Hajat et al, 2000;M endez et al, 2013;CDC, 2002CDC, , 2005Perez et al, 2004). Findings related to pain outcomes easily link with broader literature pertinent to the prevalence of somatic complaints among Latinas (see Angel & Guarnaccia, 1989;Katon et al, 1982aKaton et al, , 1982b.…”

Background: Research on the physical and mental health profiles and patterns of health care use among women veterans receiving health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on the island of Puerto Rico is lacking. Methods: This cross-sectional study examines differences in physical and mental health conditions, and patterns of VA health care use, between women veterans of the Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) era who were using VA facilities in Puerto Rico (n ¼ 897) and those using U.S.-based VA facilities (n ¼ 117,216) from 2002 to 2015. Results: Results of fully adjusted logistic regression models revealed that OIF/OEF women in Puerto Rico had heightened risk for global pain-related disorders (i.e., any pain) (adjusted odds ratio [

“…HPV serologic results are influenced by HPV exposure through sexual contact which is higher in those with riskier sexual practices. In this same cohort we previously reported that women with risky sexual behaviors were less likely to undergo Pap test [26] , emphasizing the importance of continuing to promote cervical cancer control with both screening and HPV vaccination.…”

BackgroundTo understand risk factors for HPV exposure in Puerto Rican women, we evaluated HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 serology in women aged living in the San Juan metropolitan area.MethodsAs part of a cross-sectional study, a population-based sample of 524 HPV unvaccinated Hispanic women ages 16–64 years completed face-to-face and computer assisted interviews and provided blood and self-collected anal and cervical specimens. Serology used multiplex virus-like particle based-IgG ELISA and HPV DNA was detected with L1-consensus PCR.Results32% and 47% were seropositive to HPV types included in the bivalent (16/18) and quadrivalent (6/11/16/18) vaccines, respectively. Type-specific seroprevalence was HPV6 − 29%, HPV11 − 18%, HPV16 − 23%, and HPV18 − 17%; seroprevalence was high in the youngest age-group (16–19: 26–37%). HPV seropositivity was associated with having ≥ 3 lifetime sexual partners (OR=2.5, 95% CI=1.7–3.9) and detection of anogenital HPV DNA (OR=1.8, 95% CI=1.2–2.6).ConclusionsThe high cumulative exposure of HPV vaccine types 6/11/16/18 in this Hispanic population was influenced by factors related to HPV exposure through sexual behavior. High seroprevalence in the youngest age-group indicates early age of exposure to HPV in Puerto Rico, highlighting the need for HPV vaccination starting prior to age 16.

“…In this study, primiparous age above 30 years was a prognostic risk factor in patients with stage III cervical cancer. Previous reviews have strongly suggested that marital history, such as younger age at marriage and childbirth, multiple pregnancies, and multiple births, were risk factors for cervical cancer incidence ( 22 , 23 ). However, the impact of these factors on prognosis has been seldom reported.…”

Background Cervical cancer is the second most common female malignancy worldwide, and the prognosis of patients with the locally advanced stage is poor, with a high risk of recurrent. This study aimed to explore the effect factors that influence the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and quality of life in patients with stage III cervical cancer. Methods A two-way follow-up method was utilized to collect information from patients with stage III cervical cancer. Survival analyses were performed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors related to quality of life. Results Four hundred and sixty subjects were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up time was 28 months (range, 1–51 months). The 3-year OS and PFS rates were 69.0% and 55.0%, respectively. Primiparous age above 30 years, age at diagnosis below 40 years, lymph node metastasis, non-squamous cell carcinoma, and larger tumors were risk factors of OS and PFS, while the protective factors were weight loss, good mental status, and standardized treatment. The quality of life was better in patients with the following characteristics: younger age at diagnosis, active review according to medical orders, and earlier return to society. Conclusions Primiparous age above 30 years was a poor prognostic factor for OS, PFS, and quality of life. The common factors relevant to prognosis were confirmed to be significant.
