Introduction:

Cervical cancer begins with a precancerous lesion called dysplasia, which can be low grade or high grade. One of the most important factors is the age at which an active sexual life begins. Objective: To know if there is an association between the age of beginning of active sexual life (BASL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSIEL).

Material and methods:

Descriptive, retrospective, observational study, in 52 files of women aged 15 to 60 years with Pap smear at HGZ MF No. 1, prior authorization from CLIS 301 and CEI 3018 with folio R-2022-301-021. Data were collected from files that met the inclusion criteria, a statistical analysis was carried out with frequencies, percentages for nominal qualitative variables, with measures of central tendency and dispersion in quantitative variables, with determination of chi2 and Kruskal-Wallis, respecting the principles of Belmont in consideration of Justice and Beneficence, the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki 1964, the General Health Law in México.

Results:

When evaluating 52 patient records, the age was 37.81 ± 9.949 years, the association of BASL and HGSIEL was found without statistical significance according to the chi2 with a p = 0.538 (95% CI, 0.403-0.674) and a significant association by Kruskal-Wallis between HGSIEL and patient age, with p = 0.019 (95% CI, 0.000-0.057).

Conclusion:

The beginning of an active sexual life has no association with the type of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.
