Prevalence of hysterectomy in urban China and associations between metabolic disorders and hysterectomy: a multicenter population-based study involving over 9 million women

In this large-scale study, the prevalence of hysterectomy was higher among menopausal women or those living in the East and Northeast regions. Hysterectomy was strongly associated with metabolic disorders, especially in women of childbearing age. Further studies were warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and develop public health policies.
