This study was to identify the risk factors for AV. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Participants in this case-control study included healthy women and women with AV. All participants completed a standardized questionnaire covering sociodemographic factors, sexual behaviors, personal hygiene habits and health behaviors. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for statistical evaluation. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A total of 290 women of reproductive age were enrolled. In the multivariate analysis, unmarried status (odds ratio [OR] 2.606, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.257-5.402), use of an intrauterine device (OR 4.989, 95% CI 1.922-12.952), long-term use of antibiotics (OR 11.176, 95% CI 1.363-91.666) and frequent vaginal douching (OR 4.689, 95% CI 1.363-16.135) were independent risk factors for AV. On the contrary, consistent condom use (OR 0.546, 95% CI 0.301-0.991) and college-level education or above (OR 0.255, 95% CI 0.131-0.497) were independent protective factors. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Measures that may be considered to prevent AV include enhancing education to improve women's knowledge related to reproductive health, especially unmarried women, encouraging them to consistently use condoms as a contraceptive method, to avoid long-term use of antibiotics and to stop frequent vaginal douching.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000431286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,10]],"date-time":"2015-06-10T18:04:45Z","timestamp":1433959485000},"page":"148-154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Analysis of the Risk Factors for Aerobic Vaginitis: A Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Nv","family":"Geng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjuan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aiping","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cha","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingmei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fengxia","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2002.00432.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-013-1846-4"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-012-2571-4"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-994761"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-011-2085-5"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2011.03020.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-009-1318-3"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AEM.02908-12"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/medarh.2013.67.94-96"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(94)90135-X"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/318710"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-10-120"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0070716"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-9-305"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1363\/3717011"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1479-828X.1984.tb01494.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2014.04.006"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000294845"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-0997(2000)8:2<99::AID-IDOG7>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2012.12.003"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/431286","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/431286","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:12:39Z","timestamp":1745431959000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000431286"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000431286","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.5128186","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0378-7346","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-002X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]}}}
