L-shaped association between dietary iron intake and HPV infection: a cross-sectional analysis based on national health and nutrition examination survey 2005–2016 by Xiaotong Chen, Haiwei Chen, Yuling Chen, Lixin Tang, Jiaqi Liu, Yu-Hua Ou

“…Furthermore, we conducted subgroup analyses.ResultsAfter adjusting for multiple confounding variables, our results demonstrated a statistically significant inverse association between iron intake and HPV infection (OR = 0.988, 95% CI: 0.979–0.998, p = 0.018). It’s worth noting that, in comparison to individuals in the quartile with the lowest iron intake, those in the highest quartile exhibited a 23.2% reduction in the odds of HPV infection for each incremental unit of iron intake (OR = 0.768, 95% CI: 0.634 to 0.930, p = 0.009). …”
