Risk factors of precancerous cervical lesions: The role of women's socio-demographic, sexual behavior and body mass index in Amhara region referral hospitals; case-control study.

Most of the determinants of precancerous cervical lesions were modifiable and mainly related to women's socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors and body mass index. Therefore, strengthening awareness on safe sexual practices and healthy life styles through information, education and communication (IEC), and behavioral change communication (BCC) would decrease the incidence of precancerous cervical lesions.
