Women above the age of 40 years had a higher prevalence of prior hysterectomy, compared with those aged 25\u00e2\u20ac\u201c39 years (5.01% vs 0.33%). Obesity was marginally related with a higher risk of hysterectomy (adjusted OR=1.59; 95%\u00e2\u20ac\u2030CI 0.99 to 2.56; body mass index (BMI) \u00e2\u2030\u00a528.0 vs 18.5 \u00e2\u2030\u00a4 BMI &lt;24.0). History of prior pregnancy loss conferred a greater risk for hysterectomy (adjusted OR=1.51; 95%\u00e2\u20ac\u2030CI 1.02 to 2.23). Of the 75 (68.18%, 75\/110) cases who provided further information on hysterectomy, 84.00% (63\/75) had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and 70.67% (53\/75) had received surgery for leiomyoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Rural Chinese women had a relatively low prevalence of hysterectomy, and the majority of reported hysterectomies were performed abdominally for leiomyoma.
