Hallie had a baby at 15 years of age. therefore, she has an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
<h3>Why the increased risk in teenage pregnancy's?</h3>
AFSI (age at first sexual encounter) has long been associated with a higher risk of invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Despite the fact that AFSI and AFP are significantly linked in most developing countries, AFP and ICC have received less attention.
A pooled analysis of case-control studies on ICC from eight developing countries, including 1864 cases and 1719 controls, looked at the effects of AFSI, AFP, and ICC risk. Age at first sexual encounter (AFP), age at first marriage (AFM), and age at first sexual encounter (AFP) were all linked and had comparable ICC risk estimates.
The odds ratio (OR) of ICC was 1.80 (95% CI: 1.50-2.39) for women with AFSI 21 years and 2.31 (95% CI: 1.85-2.87) for women with AFSI 16 years (P-trend 0.001).
For ICC, there was no significant interaction between AFSI and any of the identified risk variables. Those who had AFSI and AFP at the age of 16 were 2.4 times more likely to develop ICC than those who had AFSI and AFP at the age of 21.
