El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las variables epidemiológicas asociadas a la infección por papilomavirus humano en un grupo de mujeres mexicanas. En un estudio prospectivo, transversal y comparativo, se estudiaron 470 mujeres que acudieron para valoración citológica y colposcópica; previo al examen ginecológico se les realizó una entrevista en la cual se consignó la ficha de identidad, historia reproductiva, anticonceptiva, sexual, tabaquismo pasivo y activo. El diagnóstico de papilomavirus se realizó por citología y colposcopia. Las mujeres infectadas fueron más jóvenes y tuvieron menos embarazos y partos que las mujeres sanas. En el análisis multivariado la edad de las pacientes y la edad del primer embarazo resultaron ser factores protectores contra la infección. A diferencia de otras investigaciones, este estudio no encontró ninguna asociación entre la infección con papilomavirus y la conducta sexual.The purpose of the study is to determine the epidemiological variables associated to human papillomavirus infection in a group of Mexican women. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 470 women enrolled for Pap smear and colposcopy. Previous to gynecological examination women were interviewed about demographic data, reproductive and contraceptive history, sexual behavior and smoking. The diagnosis of papillomavirus was done by cytology and colposcopy. Women infected were younger and had less pregnancies and childbirth than healthy women. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the age of patients and the age of their first pregnancy were protective factors against the infection. Unlike previous research, this study found no associations between human papillomavirus and sexual behavior.
