Although the fraction of CIN3 attributable to genotypes included in the nonavalent HPV vaccine was high even after age 45, older women appeared to be more at risk of high-grade CIN related to HPV genotypes not included in the vaccine. Interestingly, older women showed a higher rate of precancerous cervical lesions associated with non-high-risk HPV. The present findings seem to raise the question about the management of cervical pathology at a later age in a future postvaccination era.
