IGF::OT::IGF TASK ORDER 13 - SELF II

这是一项关于非裔美国年轻女性患肌瘤风险因素的研究——SELF研究。该研究的三个主要假设是：(1)维生素D缺乏是肌瘤发病的一个危险因素；(2)生殖道感染是肌瘤发生的危险因素；(3)较高比例的非洲血统是肌瘤发病率的危险因素。从2010年到2013年，1705名女性参加了这项研究。我们已经完成了基线、随访1、随访2和随访3的数据收集，分为五组。对超声数据进行了质量控制，并将所有数据整理成可分析的文件。数据解析过程正在进行中。对区间1数据的初步分析已经完成，并提交了一份手稿供发表。

This is a study of risk factors for fibroids in a population of young African-American women—the SELF Study. The study’s three primary hypotheses are: (1) vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for fibroid incidence; (2) reproductive tract infection is a risk factor for fibroid incidence; and (3) a higher proportion of African ancestry is a risk factor for fibroid incidence. From 2010-2013, 1705 women were enrolled in the study. We have completed baseline, follow up 1, follow up 2, and follow up 3 data collection for women enrolled in five waves. Quality control for the ultrasound data has been conducted, and all data are being organized into analyzable files. Data resolution procedures are ongoing. An initial analysis of interval 1 data has been completed and a manuscript submitted for publication.
