| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study estimated the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and determined distinct risk factors for high-risk HPV infection in a community-dwelling adults aged 40-69 years. Among 574 respondents (269 men and 305 women), high-risk HPV infection was found in 25 respondents (4.4%). In a multivariate logistic regression model, higher plaque score was significantly associated with greater odds of high-risk HPV infection (plaque score >1, odds rario = 3.49, 95% confidence interval= 1.24-9.81). These findings suggest that plaque score is an important predictor of high-risk HPV infection and maintenance of oral hygiene may contribute to prevention of oral cavity, pharynx cancer in Japanese adults.
