Uyghur males aged 18 years and older were selected from Kashgar Prefecture in Xinjiang. The prevalence was evaluated by a bilingual questionnaire (including socio- demographic information, dietary habit, lifestyle, and behavioral habits) and\n anorectal examinations. The chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential associated factors.<jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A total of 402 Uygur males aged \u2265 18 years were included in the final analysis. Of those, 192 (47.8%) participants\n were identified with common anorectal disease (CAD). Older age, lower education attainment, being a farmer, having lower personal annual income, having a high level of alcohol consumption, performing less anus-rinsing after defecation, and having less pubic hair removal were significantly\n associated with CAD. <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Common anorectal disease is a significant public health concern for the Uygur male population. Anus-rinsing after defecation and pubic hair removal are ethnic-specific behaviors among Uygur and could be preventive strategies for CAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5993\/ajhb.47.2.4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T04:31:58Z","timestamp":1684989118000},"page":"237-252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Associated
