One population that has been historically overlooked regarding STIs is that of older adults, despite many individuals remaining sexually active well into their older years. We investigated the reported prevalence and incidence of trichomoniasis in adults aged \u226545\u00a0years in the United States using a systematic literature review. Twelve articles were included in the review, all assessing prevalence of trichomoniasis in this age group. Notably, no included articles assessed trichomoniasis incidence. Data collected encompassed several decades, from 1993 to 2016. Estimates of infection prevalence varied widely and ranged from 0.2% to 21.4% in included populations, with the highest prevalence typically seen among individuals seeking diagnostic testing for STIs. Several studies found increased risk for trichomoniasis in older patients compared to younger age groups. This is the first review to examine the risk of trichomoniasis in older adults, and the surprisingly high prevalence suggests that older adults may merit increased screening for trichomoniasis and sexual health education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh22009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,6]],"date-time":"2022-06-06T21:20:26Z","timestamp":1654550426000},"page":"151-156","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Burden
