Association of Powder Use in the Genital Area With Risk of Ovarian Cancer

摘要

Question Is use of powder in the genital area associated with the risk of developing ovarian cancer? Findings In this analysis that pooled data from 4 cohorts with a total of 252745 women, the hazard ratio for the association between self-reported ever use vs never use of powder in the genital area and incident ovarian cancer was 1.08 (95% CI, 0.99-1.17). Meaning Among women from 4 prospective cohorts, there was not a statistically significant association between use of powder in the genital area and ovarian cancer, but the study may have been underpowered to identify a small increase in risk.
