| Abstract | Background Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are benign smooth muscle tumors that may cause significant morbidity in women of reproductive age. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of menstrual and reproductive factors with the risk of UL in premenopausal women. Methods This prospective study included 7,360 premenopausal women aged 22–48 years who were part of the Korea Nurses’ Health Study. Information on the menstrual cycle and reproductive history was assessed between 2014 and 2016, and self-reported cases of UL were obtained through 2021. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results During 32,072 person-years of follow-up, 447 incident cases of UL were reported. After adjusting for other risk factors, women with late age at menarche had a lower incidence of UL (≥ 16 vs. 12–13 years: HR 0.68; 95% CI 0.47–0.99; p for trend = 0.026). The risk of UL was inversely associated with current menstrual cycle length (≥ 40 or too irregular to estimate vs. 26–31 days: HR 0.40; 95% CI 0.24–0.66) and cycle length at ages 18–22 years (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.31–0.67; p for trend < 0.001, each). Parous women had lower risk of UL than nulliparous women (HR 0.40; 95% CI 0.30–0.53) and women who were aged 29–30 years at first birth had a lower risk of UL than those who were aged ≤ 28 years at first birth (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.34–0.98). There was no significant association of the number of births or breastfeeding with the risk of UL among parous women. Neither a history of infertility nor oral contraceptive use was associated with the risk of UL. Conclusions Our results suggest that age at menarche, menstrual cycle length, parity, and age at first birth are inversely associated with the risk of UL in premenopausal Korean women. Future studies are warranted to confirm the long-term effects of menstrual and reproductive factors on women’s health. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
