Objectives Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on women in developed countries; however, little is known about the epidemiology of hysterectomy in low-income to middle-income regions. This study seeks to evaluate the prevalence of hysterectomy and its risk factors in rural China. @@@ Methods Questionnaires were collected from 3328 female adults aged 25 (a) over cap (sic) "69 years in rural Anyang, China, in 2009 (a) over cap (sic) "2011. Hysterectomy status was ascertained by the gynaecologist at the time of cytological test. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess the risk factors for hysterectomy. @@@ Results The overall prevalence of hysterectomy was 3.31% (110/3328). Women above the age of 40 years had a higher prevalence of prior hysterectomy, compared with those aged 25 (a) over cap (sic) "39 years (5.01% vs 0.33%). Obesity was marginally related with a higher risk of hysterectomy (adjusted OR=1.59; 95% (a) over cap (sic)parts per thousand CI 0.99 to 2.56; body mass index (BMI) (a) over cap parts per thousand (sic)28.0 vs 18.5 (a) over cap parts per thousand(sic) BMI < 24.0). History of prior pregnancy loss conferred a greater risk for hysterectomy (adjusted OR= 1.51; 95% <(a)over cap>(sic)parts per thousand CI 1.02 to 2.23). Of the 75 (68.18%, 75/110) cases who provided further information on hysterectomy, 84.00% (63/75) had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and 70.67% (53/75) had received surgery for leiomyoma. @@@ Conclusions Rural Chinese women had a relatively low prevalence of hysterectomy, and the majority of reported hysterectomies were performed abdominally for leiomyoma. Hysterectomy prevalence differed significantly by age, BMI and history of pregnancy loss. This study expands the current understanding of the epidemiology of hysterectomy in lower resource areas.
