Epidemiological features of uterine fibroid-associated imaging changes in Chinese women of reproductive age: a retrospective study
UF incidence and prevalence in Asians were higher than previously reported, showed age-related increase in reproductive age, and UF incidence increased with overweight and HBP in ≤40-year-old participants. Variation in UF burden and factors with higher risk noted in different age ranges, and the correlations identified in younger women make it possible for early preventive measures for women with a higher risk of UF.
